Magnepan's new LRS?


A brief blurb in Stereophile online (by Herb Reichert reporting from AXPONA 2019) gave accolades to Magnepan's new LRS. The local authorized dealer is not carrying it for unclear reasons (at least, the decision to not offer that model wasn't explained to me when I asked directly about it). Have any Forum readers had an opportunity to audition these and, if so, what's your opinion?
Thanks,Keith

Doug1234, yes, but I'd say it's a lot closer to a .7 sonically than an MMG. I had a pair of MMG's years ago and as good as they were for the money, they were veiled. The LRS is crystal clear.
Based on what I've read, I've ordered a pair directly from Magnepan. I expect to receive them in about 3 weeks.

I spoke at length with Eric at the company about the adequacy of my very old (ancient, actually) Classe Audio DR-9 (David Reich's last design for the company). It's a high-current amp (400 stereo watts into 2 ohms, 200 into 4 and 100 into 8) and he thought it would do a better-than-adequate job. Agree? At least in the near-term future, I hope it will do justice to these speakers.


I'm using some equally ancient Audioquest cables (so old I've forgotten the model). Suggestions regarding appropriate replacement cables for this setup will be gratefully received!

I was a Magnepan dealer for many years.  Your DR-9 will be superb with the LRS.  Should be a GREAT combo!
I agree
a DR-9 in good shape is a formidable amp
AQ cables w DBS are pretty neutral
copper works great , Silver has more resolution up top but also costs more
have fun
enjoy the music !!!!!!
