I haven't noticed anything like it, and we haven't had any problems with 
interfacing the K3 to various amps. Both my K2s do this just a little 
but not my K3.

Maybe you you should double check your audio levels? Could be the 
AGC/ALC not reacting fast enough to excessive levels of audio - just a 
wild stab in the dark.
