Help needed with new integrated amp.


Looking for some help if possible due to not being able to visit dealers.I switched back and forth between Magnepan and other box speakers for the past few years till I acquired a new pair of LRS+. ( love Maggies wall of sound soundstage)When I decided to stick with Magnepan. I am struggling a bit with the midrange which sound more forward than other Maggies I owned before. Is that a typical behavior for the LRS+? I tried them with Anthem STR integrated as well as Atoll IN200SE and it is the same thing. My room is 15’wX18’LX9’H treated room with a combination of diffusers and absorber panels. I only listen to digital using Denafrips Pontus II, Bluesound the node and all cables are Cardas. Looking for an integrated amp that can tame the forwardness of the lRS+ midrange or maybe the problem is something else, I am not sure. I appreciate all your help in advance.

I think that is what you get from the smaller Maggies.  Any Maggie 1.7 or larger have true ribbon tweeters that are hard to beat .  Which will improve midrange as well by freeing up the rest of the panel.

@willywonka   I goofed, but it was only my 3rd mistake this year.  HAHA.  It is worth it to get Maggies with the true ribbon tweeter.  I have the 3.7's.  Maybe more important to get one that is right for the size room you have.
