No mention of LRS / LRS+ on Magnepan website???
You've probably seen this new review....the word is that they have 6 months+ of orders already on hand and that they are having to adjust their manufacturing to handle the volume....don't forget they have dealer orders coming in for their other sp... 
Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing
thanks ralph....I suspect that this is part of the explanation as to why your amps sound so good. follow up question regarding a higher powered class d amp...would this be of much benefit to people running speakers with 90db+ sensitivity and list... 
Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing
Here is a link to a photo of the rear of the amp.    https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lisai204-atma-sphere-class-d-dealer-demo-pair-solid-state    
Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing
My wish list: 1.  People would only use the words “better than” when referring to specs 2.  When referring to sound the would say “I prefer… and then why 3.  Amp designers would state their objective… straight wire with gain….low distortion wit... 
Anyone heard new Zu Union 6?
Kray… so the Supreme is the top end model as I read it. Now that you have more burn in… what do you think… how is the low end… the stridency… the sound stage?    
Zu Audio Dirty Weekend 6 starts tomorrow 09/01/22
The biggest change appears to be replacing the bottom finger ports with a rear port. There are fewer color/wood options, upgrades cost more…. Not sure if the drivers are the same?  
Class D Amplification Announcement
My experience has been is that there is rarely a "one size fits all" when it comes to audio gear. It takes some mixing and matching to get the sound that you prefer...and it is quite likely that others might think it could be improved to make it t... 
Anyone heard new Zu Union 6?
How do they sound right out of the box with no break in?    
What are the best loudspeakers under $4000 to re-create lifelike piano
It has been almost 5 years since I started this thread.  Over that time period, I've owned a bunch of different speakers and electronics.  With 5 years of trial and error and stating the obvious, rooms and electronics matter as much if not more th... 
Pacific Audio Fest
No doubt the Borrensons are impressive...I wonder what they sound like when they aren't being driven with a $60k front end that probably has been optimized to make them sound their best?  
Speaker pairings for Lyngdorf 2170
I’ve heard the 2170 with the Spatial Audio M3 Sapphires and the Magnepan LRS… both with and without the Audio Kinesis 4 sub array… and with and without room correction.    I found it to always sound good, never bright or harsh, good imaging and s... 
Service my Belles
I spoke to David a couple months ago...he will pick up the phone when he isn't busy.  It might be worth calling him after you get the SA100 to see if you can get a handle on the age of the unit and any thoughts about whether it may be time for ser... 
AVA Vision Set 400 v Belles SA-100
If you decide to change preamps, I believe that some of the current AVA preamp offering have a high and low gain switch so they can work with a wider range of amplifiers and sensitive speakers.   
Tekton versus Klipsch
Just one more thing to think about no matter which ones your buy/try.  The bigger and heavier they are, the more they will cost you to send back (and shipping is very expensive right now) if you don't love them.    AND if at some point you decide... 
Essay bashing Primedia, Stereophile - and Audiogon
Let’s go back to the day when dealers wouldn’t let you try gear at home and you had to use the newspaper classified section to try to find a buyer.
