Magnepan 3.7i amp pairing

The Sanders Magtech is what I use on my LRS+ and it is the best Class AB amp I I have owned. However, I will use the caveat that it is the best Class AB on the LRS+. On my other speaker, the Yamaha NS5000, the Sanders is not that special. I spoke with Roger Sanders on this amp, and he said it was initially designed for Magnepans (Mag + Tech). I bought it used from Roger for $4k with 1 year warranty.

Another amp that is a bit better on the LRS+, more bass and sweetness, is the CODA #16. I use the Magtech on the LRS+ because it is almost as good as the CODA. 

Unrelated to the amps.

I took out my 2 acoustic absorption panels in my small office where the first reflection happens. With all other speakers these panels are needed (otherwise fatigue). However, I am finding that with the LRS+ the panels are not needed, and the sound opens up even more without them.

I had read about removing the panels elsewhere on the web and I am now a believer. I do use panels behind the LRS+ and also where my desk resides (in a closet). The LRS+ is the very best speaker I have heard in a small room. So easy to place.

It has got me thinking of getting a bigger Maggie for the Livingroom, to rotate with the NS5000.

Never but never use subwoofers with magnepan only the dwm panels from magnepan . You must use a power amp like krell the ksa 250, cello duet,viola thats kind of stuff. Never tubes!!

I use the fast KEF KC62 sub with my LRS+. I think I cut over at 50 Hz. My friend who is a musician, recording engineer, and a golden ears heard my office system and said 2 things. 

• Why would you use anything but the LRS+ in a small room like mine. Other speakers who be a waste due to the room size.
• The sub integration with the LRS+ and KC62 was seamless.
