Left Speaker Pops in Tube based system...

It is actually more of a poof then a pop...there is woofer excurstion and an audible poof.

I have had tube amps and preamp now for 6 to 8 months so I can understand some adjustments needing to be made if that is the case. The occurance is happening a few minutes into playing anyone of 3 sources and it only happens ocasionally. I believe it only occurs 5 minutes into listening and ceases to be an issue 15 or 20 minutes later. During this typical time frame it will happen 2 to 4 times...not excessive, but alarming none the less...after 20 minutes it will no longer happen.

I re-biased (which did need to be done...tubes were out of wack). Wondering if this is a sign of dying tubes or something silly. Prior 6 months did not bring this issue...it is new.

For information I am using:
Spendor S8e
Red Dawn XLR connection
Rogue 150 mono blocks
Aesthetix Calypso Pre

Thanks
