with enough power on the bass panels and a good understanding of room acoustics the magnepan 3 series will rock your world. an amp with a high dampening factor seems to control that big planar woofer just fine. using subs for the bottom octave will even let half deaf rockers hear all the bass. setting up dipole bass is not easy in many rooms, but well worth the effort. that is probably the biggest reason maggies get a bad rap on bass reproduction. from my experience it isn't because the speakers aren't capable. i find a parametric eq on the bass very handy for fine tuning the bottom for nice tight detailed bass even in unforgiving rooms. my 3.5r's can pump out 110db+ effortlessly to the listening position and sound absolutly beautiful. in my opinion if you can't get your maggies to rock, you're not doing it right.
