Well, I did have a problem with my Hafler DH-220 providing enough current to my 2 Ω Magneplanars for the O-Daiko drum (biggest taiko drum). Had to turn it down. But that kind of bass is unlikely to be a problem with communications audio. And my son has the Maggies now, plus I’m currently replacing the power supply in the Hafler.
