Is it normal for the woofer to move in/out slowly


My only tubed piece is the pre-amp. It is the only piece I turn off when not in use. I noticed that when I turn it off the woofers on my speakers move in and out rather slowly while I hear what I assume are the tubes discharging.

Is that normal and more importantly can it cause damage to the speakers?

Thanks

What you are describing happens to my woofers when I turn my power amp ON. I don't have any tubed gear though, so it may not be a good comparison. I'm not an expert, but I don't think this would cause damage unless it happened for an extended period of time (i.e. overheat voice coil?). Maybe someone else can correct/confirm that.
