Help needed with new integrated amp.


Looking for some help if possible due to not being able to visit dealers.I switched back and forth between Magnepan and other box speakers for the past few years till I acquired a new pair of LRS+. ( love Maggies wall of sound soundstage)When I decided to stick with Magnepan. I am struggling a bit with the midrange which sound more forward than other Maggies I owned before. Is that a typical behavior for the LRS+? I tried them with Anthem STR integrated as well as Atoll IN200SE and it is the same thing. My room is 15’wX18’LX9’H treated room with a combination of diffusers and absorber panels. I only listen to digital using Denafrips Pontus II, Bluesound the node and all cables are Cardas. Looking for an integrated amp that can tame the forwardness of the lRS+ midrange or maybe the problem is something else, I am not sure. I appreciate all your help in advance.

6.5ft (78”) apart is somewhat close. Try 90” apart. Listen for a while then swap them so the tweeters are on the inside. 

GR Research has a youtube video explaining what they found testing the LRSplus and the upgrade they made to it.  I would start with that before investing in new hardware.  If u still want hardware recs - a used NAD class a/b amp are fantastic sounding with Maggie's (not the class D crap they are selling today).  For new re commendation I would need to know a price range.

I am definitely going to look at Coda and Magtech. I moved the speakers to almost 90” a part and tweeters are now on the inside and yes I can hear an improvement. Definitely depending on the recording as it was mentioned in one of the reply. I am not sure I can keep the speakers 90”apart all the time though. Thankfully they are light enough to move them around.
