Magnepan's new LRS?

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!

Thanks mofimadness! Much appreciated perspective!!

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 !!!!!!

I remember the DR-9 as one of the better amps of its time.  However that was some years ago now and it may be worthwhile having it checked out in case any or the caps or other components should be replaced.

You will likely have the potential for a very nice system.
