| Magnepan LRS Support Group?! @ejlif that is the kind of reaction that I'm hoping will keep my patience up! Interesting to hear about the amp pairing, too. Enjoy, and thank you for sharing! | |
| Magnepan LRS Support Group?! Thanks @jasonbourne52 for the advice. In the stereophile review measurements, John Atkinson echoed what @russ69 says above: "Interpreting the measured performance of a panel loudspeaker such as the Magnepan LRS is far from straightforward. Overall... | |
| Magnepan LRS Support Group?! @b_limo thanks for the recommendation and for your comment about liking the LRS. I think the size and price of the LRS is best for my current purposes, but we'll see if I trade up down the road. | |
| Magnepan LRS Support Group?! @glennewdick thanks for that info. They raised the price $100 from what they were (my order was $750), so I guess they're getting something extra. I also heard that the factory is experiencing the same challenge as a lot of places hiring staff to ... | |

I like the totem "house sound" but don't have the budget for the Forests, etc. I have all t... | |
| Ready For Digital Source...Computer? After so many appalled responses to your suggestion of using a computer, I will have to consider my system as unworthy until I get a dedicated streamer! But to your initial question, I have loved the sound of my macbook playing hires files from th... | |
| Great song to test bass Lot's for me to check out in these lists! I have two references I use when I change equipment around: Trouble Man performed by Rickie Lee Jones (Very dynamic string bass) Afterglow by Lydia Ainsworth (Big synth swoops into subwoofer range) | |
| Audiophile Priorities and Recent Topics I’m neither a newbie nor an expert, but someone who has appreciation and some good equipment. I agree with the comments about contentiousness vs. polite conversation — even if it involves disagreement. Things that polarize tend to get posted as pe... | |
