Primaluna prologue premium integrated and magneplanar LRS


There are a lot of forums on Magneplanars and the power required to make them singing.  Very often hundreds watts are mentioned as a prerequisite to a good listening session.

I have a 35 watts/channel tube amplifier and my LRS are connected through the 4 ohms binding posts.  I go to classic concerts once a while and usually the sound pressure level in a live concert is similar to what I hear in my living room except for pipe organ music or huge performance as in Mahler symphonies with 400 singers, 200 musicians and a powerful organ.

Maybe my amplifier walks on an elevated rope but I don't feel, I should write, hear any audible stress from the amplifier or the speakers.

We should remember that to get the sensation of a system playing twice as loud, you will need ten times the power.

If high fidelity is the aim of sound reproduction, having a performance much louder than in the reality is a caricature.

I never understood those posts insisting  the need for gigawatt, high current amps.

For audio kicks, I thought about getting a pair of the LRS for my PL HP. Are they still at the introductory price-$650?
A sub or two would make up for the LRS bottom end, and put the pipe organ in your room.
Good to know...So how good is the LRS on the Prologue? I'm considering the Prologue Two.
Glad to hear of your experience with the LRS.  I’ve been considering trying a pair of them with my Prologue Classic......Listening to more than a fair bit of jazz, esp. jazz vocals and am consigned to placement on the long side of a narrow-ish “living room end of a living space/kitchen” type floor plan...
