Magnapan LRS placement

My understanding is the Ayre amps are aimed at sounding a bit tube like without the PITA of tubes. I really like their sound, but I also like the sound of the JC-1s. I’ll start with the Ayre then may switch to the JC-1s. I play music at moderate levels and stuff below 80 Hz goes to the subs, so that mitigates power requirement a bit.

The room is 14 X 19, not 13 X 19.

You may want to adjust the sub crossover to 50 Hz or 60 Hz with the LRS+. A few people had it at 80 Hz and later adjusted it down. I did the same myself. 

I set up the LRSs in front of the Reference 1s today, and was astonished that the speakers sound so similar I had to put my ear to the membrane of an LRS to be convinced I was listening to it not the KEF.

Wait until the speakers have a few hundred hours on it. 

Last night I was listening to Kind of Blue with the Magtech and the LRS+. For the first time I felt like I was listening to a live performance of this album. 

The LRS+ is incredible. I do think my LS50 Meta was a bit sharper focus (not imaging). Whatever, the case, the LRS+ is the lowest in the Magnepan lineup so likely going up the range gets the sharper sound I heard with the LS50 Meta.

I think the LRS+ is better than the LS50 Meta. My criticism was just some very minor issue. I have no plans of going up the range of Maggies (for my office) since the LRS+ fits so perfectly in my 12x11x9 room (with 4 additional feet of closet space with a desk).

I hope you can pair the LRS+ with your JC1's and give a comparison.

I'm using a pair of LRS I bought used, not LRS+.  I'm expecting adapters to arrive tomorrow that I hope will provide a tighter fit in the LRS receptors, then I plan to do more listening.  I'm a bit concerned about one of the cables pulling out and shorting the amp.  I may replace the LRSs with new LRS+s and Magna stands, although my LRSs are handsome in white with oak trim.  I bought the LRSs on a lark, but I've been impressed with them.  The LRS+ is said to be an improvement.
