Magnepan's new LRS?


A brief blurb in Stereophile online (by Herb Reichert reporting from AXPONA 2019) gave accolades to Magnepan's new LRS. The local authorized dealer is not carrying it for unclear reasons (at least, the decision to not offer that model wasn't explained to me when I asked directly about it). Have any Forum readers had an opportunity to audition these and, if so, what's your opinion?
Thanks,Keith

I’d have to say that having spent a few hours with the 1.7is at a dealer’s store... and 20 minutes with the .7s at the Florida Audio Show... there are some things they do that are really really good. In both cases, the bass down to maybe 50/60 hz was good... mid bass and midrange almost a hologram. 

 I didn’t particularly care for the very small listening window... but that is just my preference. 

It is unfortunate that ASR doesn’t take the approach of concluding with something like...”our measurements don’t correspond with what people are hearing so as a next step we will try to figure out what we are missing... what measurements we might be missing”.
