From what I've heard there is a physical limit to the amount of air a maggie can move. If you pump in power past that point it will have no effect other than to cause distortion that often creates a rattle. If you need ear-splitting loudness in a large room the amp is probably not the problem, you'll need a different sort of speaker. The Brystons are IMHO fully capable of driving the Maggies to their maximum sound pressure level.
Bryston or Genises B-200 stealth
I now have 2 bryston 4b each mono into transparent super bi wired to magnepan 3.6R. The sound is very nice but if I run past 1 a clock on my preamp (a creek) I get some mid bass rattle. I have been told this is do to bryston not being able to run at 2 or 1 ohm. Should I buy a genesis B-200 stealth to run my 3.6R or another amp ? The claim is this amp will run clean down to 1 or 2 ohms and give me 600 to 800 watts per side. The brystons are 800 watts per side. I did call magnepan and told them about this. Thay told me I was running past what the 3.6R could do when I cranked past 1 a clock.
does any one know much about the Genesis?
