Bought a pair of Magnepan LRS. Should I buy a Schiit Vidar or Bryston 3B-ST?
Just hooked up my LRS to a 4BSST and a BP20 with MPS-1 and wow.  Rocking the house, the bass is there I mean not 20 hz obviously but enough to satisfy without the REL subs I was using before.  It's a big room, I'm using a "knock out" side with the... 
Step up from Nakamichi 582 tape deck?
This morning I finally took off those little cap thingies and sat down and perused the setting procedure.  It is a bit daunting but kind of fascinating too.  I felt like I needed some adjustment recently when source started sounding noticeably bet... 
Any Love For Bryston Here?
I have a 15 year old 4BSST, never missed a beat, BP-20 with 18 years age and 18 months remaining warranty.  How many manufacturers do a 20 year transferable warranty?  Got used 7BSST2 with BP26 MPS2 and BR2 for a smoking price on here.  10 years w...

These new LRS are barely broken in and sounding better day by day.  They do like tubes although I use the tube preamp with SS monoblocks and the two REL T5s.  This Nak ZX-9 shows me just how good not only the deck is but how good the LRS are capab... 
Which Nakamichi to choose?
This Willy Hermannized ZX-9 sounds better than the non Hermannized DR-2 I have but both sound nice.  The ZX-9, though, is in another realm.   A hard one to find but it's going to go up in price.  The DR-2 I paid 300 for I saw a parts machine for 3...

The ZX-9 arrived.  Me, too stupid to know to push that Azimuth button, didn't.  Willie Hermann is a gentleman, and didn't call me stupid.  There really are a lot of buttons and stuff to learn about on this machine, meanwhile it really does sound p...

Nak poker.  First you get thieved then you get lied to.  If you are lucky one of two people in the world will fix it for big $$ while you wait many moons.

The only "bad" thing is that WH won't transfer the warranty, but hopefully it will last years without needing it!  I do think I got a good deal based on the rebuild and am planning on using it a lot.  Many albums to record!

OP, I have the Magnepan LRS and frankly it's bass is lacking without subwoofers.  I use two REL T5i at $599 each plus the $715 for the LRS still puts you under 2k.  Unless you have about 150 good clean watts a side to deliver to the LRS into 4 ohm...

Roughly seventeen hundred, WH repair was about seven fitty, so I thought I did pretty well (hope so).  They do seem pretty rare.  The main thing is to have it gone over.  I guess this one is the "recording champ" with the Dragon the "playback champ"?

Bought me a ZX9 Willy the Hermann remodel circa June 2019 unit.   
Just received shipment of my Magnepan LRS’s
viber6,How interesting when my largely unproven theories are "proven" at least from the perspective of your experiences.  The LRS makes "perfect" sense from the size aspect.  The appetizer theory is a nice try by Wendell but given the huge jump in... 
magnepanLRS or 1.7i ?
You can literally buy 3 pairs of the LRS for the price of one pair of 1.7i.

"there's an unsubstantiated rumor that Magenpan may be developing a dipole sub of its own design to complement these"NOW it all ties together.  There's always a "catch".Of course this will be the "best sub", right?  Wink wink.  Right?And, it may ...
