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 ...

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... 
Little help with REL subwoofers, please?
I have the LRS+ in my bedroom system (mainly used for home theater). A sub was obviously needed for movie sound effects.  I got an Arendal 1961 s based on its reviews and feature set, and it not being too big or heavy with a 12.3 inch driver. Bo... 
Musical subwoofer under $2000
Highly recommend the Arendal sub. I use the smaller 1961 1s in my bedroom setup (mostly used for home theater) and found the controls (e.g. variable phase, selection of roll off slopes) very useful and it was surprisingly easy to integrate with t... 
Speaker Cable Recommendation
DH Labs Q10 (silver clad over copper) is what has worked best for me, with both Harbeths and Maggies.  
Speaker and Cable Suggestions Please
I use the DH Labs q10 cable mentioned with both my Harbeths and Maggies.  It’s silver clad over copper and is exactly the sound I prefer- essentially neutral but a tad cool/crisp but with strong bass.  
TV audio into DAC via eARC or better
I believe all streaming services including Netflix involve compressed audio.  It’s my understanding that the full advantage of EARC cannot be obtained via streaming. As others have said, I use optical out from my Sony oled to my Benchmark DAC1 fo... 
Magnepan LRS+ which amps do you use ? * 100 watts or less **
I received the LRS+ a few months ago for my bedroom/home theater system (for use with a sub) and assumed I would have to get a new amp.  I was pleasantly surprised to find that my old Adcom 545II drives them so well that I don’t even know what I w...
