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.

How far away from the front wall should the LRS be placed to get reasonable performance?

reasonable performance 3 ft - better performance, 4-5 ft

then get magna riser stands, play with toe in to listening position

LRS are mini maggies but they need real, adult amplification that can deliver substantial current into low impedance

leaving aside power needs, LRS will also reveal any poor quality in the signal being fed to it

iirc carver m1.0t has issues with thermal overload

not a good pairing i would say

LRS and speakers like it are interesting... 600-700 bucks for the speakers, but you need a couple grand of serious amplification to do it justice
