MC. What does your Rat Shack meter measure? 
How loud are you typically listening?
I suggest turning the volume down not up. Set the volume listen carefully then turn it down a notch and see if it still sounds good. Use the least volume that is musically satisfying. Your ears will thank you.  
Stereophile's 2021 products of the year
Well they list KEF LS-50s as class A and have no listing for Magnepan 30.7s. In my house the LS-50s are in the garage where they belong.  
Magnapan Model MG 1 compare to model ...MG 1 " IMPROVED"

Make Magnepan LRS Better

"...Lots and lots of air and space. Beautiful imaging. Big soundstage. Extended highs (I like the sound of ribbon tweeters as it seems to extend way up and sparkle…airy). I like base but only as a support and foundation for the rest of the musical... 
Kef LS50
I'm the old man out, I have a pair and I don't think they are that great, tweeter is a little dull. I put a super tweeter on them for a while and they sounded much better.  
Please help. Why would higher power amp require gain? Marantz/Adcom
Different sensitivity and gain is going to yield different results.  
Compact amplifier/CD player w/o speakers
I could be wrong but other than discount store equipment not many companies are making receivers/integrated amps with CD players anymore. The good news is you can buy the discount store combo and throw the speakers it came with in the trash and co... 
Help with some big ol' used DIY speakers
"...Anyone can tell just looking at them they will play plenty loud with 10 watts..."I don't think you can say that. Sure, a large speaker with many drivers could be a way to achieve efficiency but no telling what is behind the grill cloth, what t... 
Help with some big ol' used DIY speakers
