Magnepan LRS Support Group?!


I ordered a pair of LRS a couple weeks ago. Backorder time is 6 months! I don't know if anybody else is feeling the uncomfortable longing after ordering theirs? How are you passing the time? I'm kidding (I guess), but I've never had to wait 6 months for a new toy! Let me know if you're also re-reading the reviews that made you take the plunge and planning your listening space alterations. Maybe some of you who have gotten a pair recently can keep us sane by sharing your experience with what we are waiting patiently for. Thanks!

I've owned Magnepans off and on since 1973, when I had to wait 3 months for a pair of Tympani 1a's, Stereophile's first Class A speaker.

Currently I'm running a pair of SMGa's in my HT, and decided to add something modern, two DWM's and four MMG-W's. I really want to hear that push-pull bass-mid. It's been months - so far. But so what?

Planars forever!

Jason Bourne is typically a champion of moderately priced gear. I’m surprised he isn’t supporting the excellent value that the lower price Maggie’s offer.  I gave my MMGs that were my first dip into planars to my son. Currently running 1.7s and they continually amaze.  

I just bought a pair of LRS but can't figure out what all the hype is about!

Admittedly, i am comparing them to an awesome set up and the LRS falls short.

Can anyone tell me if i want to give the LRS a chance to win out, which song would you suggest that i play? and what qualities should i be listening for?

Thank you for your comments...

I was going to listen to my stereo today, but I decided to just read test reports and measurements instead.
