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.
