Some have described their experiences with having difficulties integrating subwoofers with their Magnepan speakers. Well, based on my own personal experience, it's not so difficult to beautifully and seamlessly integrate a sub or a pair of subs with Magnepan speakers, not in the least. Everything, and I mean everything, depends on which sub you're trying to integrate, especially when it comes to Maggies. All to often, people make the same mistake, trying to integrate the wrong type of sub with Maggies. Subs that are too slow and do not manage to mimic the tone of the base panel of the Maggies very well at all. It is imperative that Maggies be mated with a proper sub and you will be absolutely astonished at the results. Try REL subwoofers. I run my .7's with a pair of REL subs. The RELs are not difficult to dial-in at all. And, they are the very best that I have heard in having the ability to seamlessly blend in with Magnepan speakers. You will be "Astonished" by REL/Maggie combo, just like I was when I auditioned them. The sound rendered by the Maggie/REL combo was nothing short of captivating. You will not be disappointed!!!
Magnepan LRS compared to the .7 or the 1.7i ?
With all the hype about magnepan’s new LRS, I am wondering if anyone has compared them to the slightly bigger and slightly more expensive .7 or even the 1.7i? (I assume they are better than the MMGi that they are replacing, so no comments about these two are necessary.)
I suspect they are new enough that there may not have been many chances for such a comparison.
So, lacking a side by side, I wonder if anyone who heard them at Axpona or otherwise (I was only there Friday and missed them) is familiar enough with the other Maggies to offer comments/thoughts/opinions between the LRS, .7, and 1.7i. Comments from dealers who sell Maggies are welcome.
finally, brief conversation with one area dealer suggests they will be more of a factory direct item that he will not carry, while another area dealer hoped to get a pair but did not know the time frame. Has anyone heard a more definitive story on availability?
