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?

IT is strange that folks think I am pushing past the limit.
With the same set up except useing transparent bi plus. I could open past the 1 a clock mark, in fact I could open up all the way. I do not turn it that high for the most part but could till I put the transparent bi super on the system over the transparent bi plus.
At 1 a clock if I am not in the same room it is not all that loud. Some recordings of world music or jazz at 1 a clock is not that loud.
I think Finburg is mostly right about the rattle.

I think I will have to buy a new set up for the other parts of my house.

Any insight into the transparent plus to super change?
Thanks all
