Do you own Magnepan LRS speakers? If so, please share your experience/opinion.


Thanks.

Thanks for the input.  I have had Magnepans in the past, 1.6, 3.6, 20 and a couple of others, but after moves and selling off my systems I am re-starting and the LRS looks to fit my current situation.

Can you fit 1.7s into your space? You might find the LRS a little disappointing but it's a cheap mistake and can be sold easily. I have .7s but I thought my old MMGs were better. Stereophile says the LRS is better than the .7. I hope so.

Thanks for the input.  My current space is too small, but that will change this early Summer.  I may just wait and get the updated 1.7.  Since I have owned the 1.6 it would be an easy fit for me.  If I wait until after the move, my new space will help decide. If I have space for a 2nd/bedroom system, I will likely use a Magnum Dynalab receiver I have, the 208 in it.   I guess I am doing some pre-move research on possibilities.  I know my new place will not have room for the 20 models that I have owned and loved.  I believe much of my audio course/direction was heavily influenced by my first good system, which was based around the Dahlquist DQ-10 speakers and tube Conrad Johnson units.
