Magnepan LRS


First time posting here. Two questions- 

1. Looking for comments/thoughts on LRS. 
2. Can these speakers be driven with a Carver M1.0t

I know this is a vintage amp, so not certain if I should have posted this here or in the vintage forum. FWIW - I picked this amp up a few years ago at a garage sale for $15.......obviously a real bargain......thanks. Ron.

I just auditioned a pair of LRS’s today. The dealer powered them with a Moon Audio amplifier. I didn’t like them and I mentioned that the amp might be the reason for the underwhelming sound but the dealer assured me that it was the Maggie’s.

The impetus for me driving up to my local dealer to hear them is that I’ve been finding myself without a speaker due to a regular need for electrostatic panel replacements. So I’m looking for a backup pair of speakers or a hifi pair of headphones.

The dealer told me that the 0.7’s is where the Magnepan magic starts to happen. I’ll take his word on it but I’m convinced at this point that Magnepan’s are not for me.
