| Speaker Suggestions for Next Move If depth, scale and live music vibe is what you’re looking for, why not Magnepans? That’s why I have them. | |
| Help needed with new integrated amp. I have the LRS+ in my bedroom system and never felt the midrange was forward and is quite similar to the midrange on my 1.7i in my main system. The LRS+ is being driven by my old Adcom 545II. I’ve noticed that the speakers being further apart an... | |
| Need suggestions on preamp I got the LRS+ for my bedroom 2.1 home theater system and assumed I’d have to get a new amp. (I use the Benchmark as my dac/pre.) I discovered my old Adcom 545II sounded so good (in terms of detail and bass) that at least in this context, I’m n... | |
| Subwoofers Check out the reviews (e.g. Audioholics) of the Arendal 1723, they have both ported and sealed versions. I have the smaller 1961 sealed version in my 2.1 bedroom system. It integrates easily with my Magnepans but still has plenty of oomph for mo... | |
| Decisions, decisions, decisions I presume you’re talking about the Nelson Pass designed Adcom 545 II. It’s funny- I recently got the Magnepan LRS+ for a bedroom 2,1 system and assumed I’d have to get a new amp. Much to my surprise, my old Adcom 545II drives the Maggies so well... | |
| Subwoofer Advice Were the Spires in a different position or room? (As an experiment, you could reverse the speaker cable on one of the speakers and see how it sounds.) | |
| Subwoofer Advice Is there any possibility that your speakers are wired out of phase? It seems so odd that you didn’t have this issue with the Spires. | |
| Speaker Cables For $300 DH Labs Silver Sonic- Q10. It’s silver clad over copper which to my ears provides a cooler (but not bright) sound with great extension on both ends. | |
| Magnepan 3.7i amp pairing With my LRS+ in my bedroom home theater system, I notice that even during pure dialogue scenes (and using a 35 hz crossover) the sound changes slightly when I turn on the sub. I imagine some may prefer this but I can’t help but feel that the pur... | |
| Subwoofer for music only ? My bedroom is of similar dimensions and is where I have my 2.1 system mainly used for streaming Netflix and the like. I use an Arendal sub 1961s with my Magnepan LRS+. The aesthetics and performance based on reviews is why I chose it. Check out... | |
| Looking to upgrade Adcom GFA555: Parasound? I recently received the Magnepan LRS+ for my bedroom/home theater 2.1 system. I assumed I would have to get a new amp for this system but discovered that my old Adcom 545 II drove the LRS+ so well that I don’t know what else I would want in an am... | |
| Kids, Dogs, and Speakers @ghdprentice Our big standard poodle did bump into the 1.7i and nothing happened. And my wife did graze the LRS+ in our bedroom on her way to the bathroom in the middle of the night and except for being moved a bit, nothing happened. But our ... | |
| Kids, Dogs, and Speakers Have you heard Magnepans? You can run into them and they will not fall over. | |
| Cable upgrades To achieve what is being sought, this is what did the trick for me: Speaker Cables- DH Labs Q10 (silver clad over copper); IC- Kimber Silver Streak | |
| Maggies and subwoofer integration I have the 1.7i in my main system but use a sub in my 2.1 bedroom system (mainly used for home theater) with the LRS+. I would suggest trying a sub which allows you to pick a slope (I use 24 db/octave) and has variable phase (I found 90 degrees w... |
