Magnapan LRS+ VS .7

Hello All,

Thinking about trying Magnapan for the first time. Looking at mainly the .7s. My room is about 9’ x 12’ and the speaker placement is limited. (It’s my living room with TV and such) Listening location is quite close at about 7 feet if the speakers are out from the back wall 20 inches. Speakers will be placed about 7.5 feet apart. Not much to work with but I have no choice. Actually the whole cottage is only 20’ x 20’. VERY simple easy life, retired. 😎

Anyone have the luxury of being able to compare the LRS+ and .7s? My amp is REGA Aethos. Mostly CD listening for now. Jazz, instrumental guitar/piano, Some R&B, light rock. But, NIRVANA is within arms reach when in the mood.

Can’t really go to a dealer. None anywhere close within four hundred miles. IF they even have them in stock.

Now using SVS Ultra Towers with subwoofer.

By now you understand that unless you can bring Magnepans out into the room at least 3' you'll be missing most of what they do so well.  My listening room is close in size to yours. I've had MMGs , then .7's, and now LRS+.  I prefer the LRS+. Its size scales better and for whatever reasons I find the LRS+ easier to position. Mine are about 5' from the front wall  I think the LRS+ lives up to all the hype and has earned all its positive reviews. Break-in time was around 300 hours for me. The bass response of the LRS+ is surprisingly robust.

If I were in your situation I'd likely be looking at speakers like Larsen, and/or Ohm. I've had both and while both brands have their charms, for my wife and me Magnepans win the day.

Hope this helps.  Best of luck on your journey.
