I got the LRS to finally hear get the Maggie experience. I loved it but it was a gateway drug.
I wanted to hear a deeper bass and some dynamics so I sold them and bought the Magnepan .7s and I loved them more. I was driving them with some vintage stuff that seemed to work pretty well although they had to be recapped in order to be able to handle the Maggies.
After a while, same issue with the .7s and then I turned to open baffle and that's where I am today. Similar open sound with dynamics and bass. Much easier to drive as well.
Maggie LRS so ridiculously good
I ordered a set of the LRS just to be able to say I have lived with Maggies at least once. I've had a lot of speakers and some big dog expensive ones like Kef Blade and Revel Salon 2 to name a couple. These 650 dollar LRS bring as much enjoyment as anything I've ever heard in so many ways. They don't love hard driving music for sure but for quiet listening or mellow type music they will give you transcendent moments. I swear they are breaking in or something and becoming a little more dynamic than when brand new. These have to be one of the greatest hifi bargains of all time. My 30 watt Pass 30.8 drives them well. I had 3.6 maggies many years ago and I snubbed them, thought they were so compressed sounding but maybe I was wrong or not using the right amp. These are just wow and so impressive what you can get for the money. I have a feeling a killer amp is a big part of the equation with these but even with a Naim Uniti Atom in a smaller space these are still awesome. This has to be the ultimate apartment speaker for someone who can't turn it up very loud and likes to listen late and night, you can really enjoy these at very low levels. Anyway I just wanted to put my enthusiasm on public record, if you are thinking of pulling the trigger do it and also give them some time don't write them off to quickly. I wish I had a separate space so I could always have a set of maggies ready to listen to when the mood and music was just right.
