Is the XA25 a realistic option for LRS’s?

@russ69

as I mentioned earlier they are in a diagonal placement in my room … so coming out of the corner and my listening position (couch) is at the opposite corner.

I believe this placement is doing a lot for the image, depth and bass.

The outer sides - i.e., the far left side of the left speaker and far right side of the right speaker are 4 feet from the wall…the inner sides are 5 feet from the walls behind them.

Hard to describe

Heres a link to a photo of the room looking in from one of the two aforementioned big wall openings.

you may need to copy and paste it

Also, for what it’s worth , tweeters are on the outside , not a lot of toe-in and the speakers are on Magnarisers

I've had a similar set-up before. If the bass is good, you should be OK.

Well I just finished a 5 hour listening session with my newly acquired LSA+ speakers driven by my Pass XA-25.

Room has a volume of 15x17x8.5' and well treated. Amp was driven by my Aric Audio tube pre set to a gain of 16-18 dB. The XA-25 has gain of 20dB. Volume level peaks below 95dB. Amp never sounded strained. I could put my hands on the amps heat sinks and hold them there. 

Sound was wonderful. Loving these speakers. Being new to them I can't say if I am getting the best from them. Might try a class A/B amp having greater power into into a 4ohm load.

I just received a pair of LRS+ last week and my Pass XA30.5 has absolutely no problem driving them. I listen at mostly low to moderate levels but I have cranked them without issue. Sound so sweet, I am impressed with the little Maggies.   

I remember the time (60s-70s) when many advise that 50% should be allocated to speakers when considering budget.  Boy do use of Maggies turn that around!

I am at 5x amplifier to speakers let alone the preamp cost.
