Krossroad 500 - "pop" when shutting off [message #26007]

Just a little off-track here - I have a Krossroad 500 bass head, and when I turn the power switch off, there's a pretty loud "pop" or "snap" from the speakers. I used to be able to turn the little horn in the 2x10 cab all the way down which would at least eliminate most of the sound, but I tried that the other day, and even through just the 2x10 and 1x15 speakers it was really pretty loud. Any ideas what component might be going south that would cause that? I do know the amp has a gizmo that keeps the speaker outputs disconnected for a second or so after power on, presumably to avoid any unpleasant "thump" (what a terrible idea!), but I don't think it's intended to turn the outputs off prior to powering the amp off.

I don't have schematics - anyone know if any are available? Last time I checked, they weren't to be had.
