Squashed(?) LRS

@ketchup 

Not sure about the LRS but my 0.7's had a metal strip 1 1/4" wd x 30" long down the center of the speakers that made the cloth stick to the inner ribbon. Not sure the purpose of them, maybe for shipping purposes ??

For $650 USD the LRS are hard to beat, just don't expect a lot of slam. Plus they really perform well and come alive with lots of power/current  So one must consider a capable amplifier. The 0.7's I bought are the next size up and cost $1,400 USD

Just recieved my Maggie's 0.7's about two three weeks ago and had the same issue, cloth stuck to the internal ribbons. Like other's have said use tape. What worked best for me was clear packing tape. I gently applied tape on the edge of where the cloth was sticking to the internal ribbon and gently pulled and worked my way to the center of the panel (patience is a virtue) and within 20 minutes the outer cloth was totally free from the ribbons.
I then ran my Maggie's continuously for 100 hrs for break in before any serious listening. Of coarse I had to listen to them right out of the box and must say, there is a big improvement in sound quality in every respect after breakin 
I've heard they really need 400 hrs for proper breakin. Can anyone confirm this? Also I'm driving them with a Spectron MK III D class amp
with 500watts@8ohms 650@4ohms & 1,200@2ohms........boy do the Maggie's love this amp! With this much juice (65 amps for 500 milliseconds) makes something as unassuming as a small bell in the background have amazing energy that I've never heard before!

@helotech  In my situation with my room being over my garage I have my .7's 48" from the knee wall and that gives me eleven feet to my seating position. Unfortunately I have my couch up against the other knee wall. My ceilings are sloped also. So it was suggest to set my speakers eight feet apart and angled toward my listening position. Plus because of the sloped ceiling, set the .7's vertical. I have my tweeters on the outside. With this setup I have a nice wide soundstage, and depending on the recording the singer is mostly front and center with the addition of amazing inner detail! I'm going through all my long term recordings and I'm amazed just how good they all sound!
