Slew Rate?

Can anyone explain what a 'slew rate' is and how it relates to a power amps performance? What to look for as a measurement? I notice Parasound publishes the slew rate of their amps, but haven't noticed many other manufacturers.

ALSO, I'm looking at purchasing a planar speaker -- I'm looking at Eminent Technology ---- and I believe someone once said or wrote that what one should look for in a power amp to power planars is a lot of "Volts" as opposed to "watts" --- any comments?

Thank You

Sean;
Ok I have done some more reading and have some more questions. Do you have some values that you can apply to your reccomendations ? If, as so many of the knowledgable people have stated, the manufactures specifacations are
dubious at best how can one get it right if they can not listen to a great many pieces ? Who or what can we trust ?
