RE: The infamous Magnepan slap.

I was clipping my Bryston 4B NRB constantly on the bass panel on orchestral works. If you listen loudly to content with deep bass then you need far more power. I would do a 1kw/ch @4 ohms amp with a high damping factor and make sure the panel is well braced.

The HK planar community uses the "bow and arrow" or "chopstick" mod to prevent excess curvature of the magnet board from developing as it ages. I used it for a while and it is also good for damping the metallic sounding ringing of the magnet board. I will put it back on when I am done moving the speakers around.
