I will be happy with the LRS+ because my room will dictate that I do not get anything bigger. The LRS+ is not bad, I was hoping it would be as good as my RAAL SR1a earphones (read that in a review) but it is not. However, the LRS+ sounds excellent and I am extremely happy with it. I only have 100 hours on it so a lot more room for improvement.
I noticed the LRS+ is even good at low volume with my modded Peachtree GAN1 (200W at 8 and 4). Though I am limited to only 1 source and a crappy volume experience. Thus, I am looking for an amp to pair with one of my 2 preamps, the Benchmark LA4 or Holo Serene. The modded GAN1 will go for headphone duty.
I spoke with a sales guy at TMR Audio today and he said the Benchmark AHB2 is OK with the LRS+ but it lacks power when the speaker is driven harder. I was guessing that to be the case from my experience with the Thiel CS3.7 and the AHB2.
I am looking to get another amp that will work with both the LRS+ and my soon to arrive Yamaha NS5000 (on Friday). I narrowed it down to the KRELL Duo XD lineup. I owned the Duo 175XD and sold it, but it will be great on the LRS+, I was not sure about the NS5000, but after some online research I think it will also be great. The other amp is the CODA #16 which will be heard with the LRS+ this weekend.
