audiokinesis2 I think your reply describes the Maggie situation very nicely. I bought the LRS and they sound better with 500 watts Bryston 4BSST vs. the older Muse 150 monoblocks that put out 250 watts both at 4 ohms. Actually the tube preamp really made them work with the Muse but I use the Bryston BP20 with the 4B. Anyway moving them upstairs into a space that I can make the back reflection really "work" and amplify the bass at the same time, it's amazing. Bass not as deep as with the two REL T5i used with the Muse, but sound overall is more stage like and coherent with the Bryston. I have them facing windows covered by a light filmy curtain which is a plus to block out some light and provide privacy, but also mainly really disperses the sound well. I put a thick curtain in front of them to minimize first reflection. They really do well although ultimately don't go deep enough for my tastes or hit you in the gut but as to filling that huge room it's pretty darn impressive. For 715 bucks to my door I like them.
