The bass panels really need to be stiffened. There is no downside to it. A strong rigid frame like the Mye stands will give you tighter deeper bass and less (or no) slap

I'm the original owner of a 25 year old set of IV-As. Although mine have remained 'stock' and I've played them fuse and hearing blowing loud, (especially during my younger years), I've yet to hear anything that could be called 'slap', not even on from either Telarc digital 1812 canons or the Mercury Living Presence (stereo) 1812 canons. (I have the MLP mono CD of the 1812, but haven't gotten around to listening to it, yet).
Knocking on MDF, I never had any delam or issue requiring repair. At this rate, they may soon outlive me. :-((
With you on being outlived by the speakers.
I only got slap on test tones and when the speakers were not braced I thought I may have had slap on some really loud bass drum and on Widor's toccata for organ (pedal notes to 16 hz) at uncomfortably loud levels. But other than the suspected slap in that case I did not get slap playing music and definitely not when the speakers were braced.
