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.

I have the LRS+ running on a Rogue Sphinx v3 in a small - my home office- room that's about 10x 12. I have them about 2 feet from the rear (on the 10 ft wall) and only about 1 foot off the side walls. I have them on the factory stands, slightly tilted back and barely toed in. They sound great, There's no treatment behind them  except a curtain that covers a window thats centered on that wall. The Rogue drives them easily and if I want to crank them up they get plenty loud. I roll my office chair to about 8 feet from them and they're fast, musical and dynamic. For the $1300 or so they cost I think they're great. I've had the wireless powered KEFLS50 with a JL E110 in the same room previously and these just work better. I'd say go for it, its a small investment in a really well reviewed speaker. I don't bother with the ASR reviews- at all. My main system is Wilson Sasha 2 on a Pass 250.8 and a JL f113 V2 in a  dedicated room and I've had a ton - a ton- of equipment in and out of the systems over the years.
