Speaker discharge

I'm not sure what you call it but when I power off my Amp I guess after all the stored power discharges all the drivers in my 3.1TL's get sucked in then release back out..
I'm just wondering what is the cause of this?
I believe the single BIG woofer goes the opposite way to the mid-drivers..
Every other speaker I have owned never did this..

    Your amplifier dissipating stored energy via the resistance of the speakers.

    Yeah, that shouldn't happen. No mute relays in the amp?

    It does not make any noise or anything it's very quiet and seems gentle when this happens ..
    My Paradigms never did this before and after the amp repair..

    I'd contact McCormack to inquire if your amp has mute relays and double check that is common ground.
