Ok, pissing contest warning...

If I were biamping my monitor system it MIGHT be possible for this to occur.  
However, with my friendly passive crossover network between the power amp and 
tweeter, those nasty DC pulses are conveniently block by our friend the 
capacitor.

Actually, I think the signal might have lost its direct-current nature 
somewhere in my mixing console...
