| Life After Your Magnepan’s audiokinesis2 I think your reply describes the Maggie situation very nicely. I bought the LRS and they sound better with 500 watts Bryston 4BSST vs. the older Muse 150 monoblocks that put out 250 watts both at 4 ohms. Actually the tube preamp re... | |
| Bryston's BP-26 vs 17 cubed Also kind of off topic, but I found it interesting that Gary @ Bryston suggested longer interconnects than speaker cable. | |
| Bryston's BP-26 vs 17 cubed I am using the 7BSST2 monoblocks about 10 years old. Previously I had the BP20 and 4BSST which sounded a little darker than the current set up. My Infinity Kappa 8 speakers are very hard to drive so the more juice the better. You may want to ch... | |
| Bryston's BP-26 vs 17 cubed I have a used BP-26 and MPS-2 and really like them. Sorry no comparison to the 17 cubed but I paid 2300 for the pair and are 10 years old with another 10 to go. I don't want warmth in my gear I can put on a sweater if cold. | |
| Magnepan LRS power amp compatibility? My LRS with monoblocks each 250 watts into 4 ohms sounded good, when I went with 500 watt into 4 ohm Bryston 4BSST noticed bass improvement although to be fair different room. Your amp seems about 1/3 of what might be needed with a tube amp on th... | |
| what amps/subwoofers are you using for Magnepan LRS? First system with the LRS was a Conrad Johnson PV10B with Muse 150 monoblocks. The bass was lacking, I added two REL T5i and was satisfied. Easy to blend in spite of all the nonsense about how "hard it is" to do that. Placed the subs directly b... | |
| Magnepan Sweet Spot OP if you like the MMGs then from what little I understand you will like the LRS more and the placement with one would work with the other? I have tweeters outside and placed to make the room play the music sure there is one nicer spot but the ke... | |
| Choosing the right amplifier for the 2019 Magnepan .7 Speakers; Solid State or Tube Bryston is always a good choice and those 7B3 monoblocks at 7500 with many years of warranty worth considering. On the face of it I would opt for the 350 watts into 4 ohms I think 70 watts will be light but kind of depends on your taste? They do... | |
| Magnepan Sweet Spot Oh hell live a little buy a pair of LRS and close your blinds. Can you move them out in the room? If not maybe you don't want mags after all. Either side of the TV sounds like you don't | |
| Magnepan 1.7 i - Amp suggestions Oh and BTW the 4BSST and the BP20 and MPS1 I am using in my second system with these LRS is kick butt. Rock and roll the bass is back but you gotta know how to place them and frankly I do. I got the Mag fever and I know the cure. | |
| Magnepan 1.7 i - Amp suggestions Bryston and Magnepan are like peanut butter and jelly. OK corny but true. A bit pricey for used but maybe just buy an old 4B from on here they are out of warranty then you are in your price range. I would also buy that used BP26 and MPS2 becau... | |
| Broken hearted...magnepan and vandersteen I'd be buying an extra pair or two of the LRS vs. spending 3x on the 1.7i which seems like frankly the absolute dog of the Magnepan line. I own the LRS and can't imagine what 2200 bux would do for me vs. 715 to my door and not messing with the sn... | |
| Magnepan Sweet Spot Dear OP,Putting your speakers on the far wall may not be the best plan. If I saw your room I could probably place them properly along the long wall (pun intended). That's how I have set the LRS up to great advantage and sound quality. But, they... | |
| Solid-State PREAMP - Thoughts on Threshold / Krell / Bryston Just buy that Bryston BP-26 with the MPS-2 power supply at under 1800 bucks. You know, the one with the real warranty. Tubes? I used to think they sounded better than solid state but thousands of dollars later that is just nonsense. That's my ... | |
| GIK Room Treatment Questions and Advice for Magnepans I set up my Magnepan LRS in my LR/DR space today, and my mind is blown how well I did. The carpet in front of the speakers that is thick seems to work in terms of not reflecting off the hardwood floors, while spreading out the sound in front. I ... |
