Hi neolith.
Hardwood frames would probably improve things, but many people who build new frames go one better and use steel. The stock Acoustat frames are pretty flimsy.
The standard advice with Acoustats and other panel speakers is to keep the bolts tight. Have you ever tried to loosen the bolts on your Maggies? Only takes a few seconds and a few seconds more to tighten if you don't like it. Two ways to go with frames for panel speakers-- either make them as rigid as possible alla Peter Gun, or decouple the panels as much as possible from the frames.
The ultimate would be panels in free space (perhaps suspended from the ceiling or attached to the floor). Then you would get no frame sound at all. A little impractical for most set ups though.
