Magnapan LRS+ VS .7


Hello All,

Thinking about trying Magnapan for the first time. Looking at mainly the .7s. My room is about 9’ x 12’ and the speaker placement is limited. (It’s my living room with TV and such) Listening location is quite close at about 7 feet if the speakers are out from the back wall 20 inches. Speakers will be placed about 7.5 feet apart. Not much to work with but I have no choice. Actually the whole cottage is only 20’ x 20’. VERY simple easy life, retired. 😎

Anyone have the luxury of being able to compare the LRS+ and .7s? My amp is REGA Aethos. Mostly CD listening for now. Jazz, instrumental guitar/piano, Some R&B, light rock. But, NIRVANA is within arms reach when in the mood.

Can’t really go to a dealer. None anywhere close within four hundred miles. IF they even have them in stock.

Now using SVS Ultra Towers with subwoofer.

Anyone who says the LRS is a poor sounding speaker likely has never heard them set up properly.  Yes you do need a good high current amp to drive them and the further away from the wall you can place them the better.  Set up properly with a good amp and they are amazing, there is nothing in that price range that can match them.

I am currently driving my LRS with a Peachtree Gan 400, drives them no problem and I am quite satisfied with the sound. As someone else mentioned, the LRS are indeed a gateway drug. Thinking of upgrading to the new 2.7i.  I believe Peachtree has discontinued all the separate amp and preamp models and only offer the integrated amps and the Gan 1. The thing is they only put out about half the power of the separate amps.
