The LRS+ Speakers


I’ve known about the Magnepan LRS+ speakers for a while, but haven’t specifically paid close attention to them. Over the weekend, I came across both a written review and an Absolute Sound YouTube review of these speakers. I think it’s fair to say if there were ever a “rave” review, this was it. The folks at TAS are obviously impressed. The reviewer is upfront about saying that the Pluses don’t do everything fantastically, but what they do do well is amazing. In a nutshell, soundstage and nuanced decay seem to be second to none. Have you heard these? If so, my question is do the LRS+ exceed even the higher priced Maggies in this regard, or is it that have found a way to bring these characteristics down to a lower price point than ever before? In other words, is there anybody out there thinking of replacing their current Maggies with the LRS+? Are they THAT good? Opinions?

Hi audionoobie,

Here's a link with a bit more details. I'm glad you are enjoying yours. That's all that matters. Happy listening.

 

I wasn't impressed with the older LRS when  I heard them at the store. Bought the LRS+ when they came in because of the great reviews. The last pr.  he had in white....Wow...Totally different sound. Beautiful...Musical....get a pr. Can't go wrong for a grand....

Patricdowns - I followed Jay’s iyagi recommendations on setting up the LRS+ speakers with my old MG-I’s, and kind of I liked it.

I am waiting for my new LRS+ hopefully in 2 month.

 

+1 for the .7,  have mine for over a year, amazing Soundstage and imaging. You just have to play with positioning, and add a sub to help the bottom end. 

Magna Riser stands and a jumper wire that came with the stands finally arrived after maybe 6-months of waiting.

I am not sure which is part should get credit but my already excellent sounding LRS+ system (with Sanders Magtech amp) just went up to another level of greatness. What an upgrade.

More clarity, more bass, more depth. I have not even taken time to dial in the positioning. The jumper had about 8 hours on it before I listened to it.
