Plug in preamp while amp is on caused very loud pop on speaker.

Did something really stupid this past weekend when I tried to rearrange the power cords and cables.  Unplugged my preamp while leaving the amps on and when I plugged back the preamp there was a very loud pop coming from my speakers.  The speakers played fine but is there any thing I should be concerned about the potential damage to the speakers?  Any suggestion is greatly appreciated.

@rogerhifi as stated above if things sound ok you should be fine. I did something even stupider a week ago. Reinstalling my streamer I ran one of the analog outputs to my DAC instead of the digital coax output. A very loud screeching sound launched me across the room to turn everything off! No harm done there either thankfully.

@jond LOL... I feel like we are going to turn this thread into "what is the dumbest you ever did to cause severe damage to your stereo..."
