Martín Logan choice help

Thanks for the last posts guys.

I talk directly with Martin Logan and replacement panels run $1300 plus shipping and tax.

So anyone buying old MLs even for $1000 is really buying a $2500 speaker with inevitable panel replacement.

That ends being the budget and when you look at it that way and you have $2500 then it opens up the game to new or newer speakers and options.

I decided to try the LRS and ordered some 2 or 3 weeks ago. 8 weeks approx from order to shipping is Magnepan's estimate.

Thank you all.

Congratulations. Based on my experience with the MMGi model which has about the same dimensions, you may also want to try the Sound Anchor stands to lift them a few inches off the ground. In my room, the improvement in sound quality was substantial. Also, as I’m sure you already know, pulling them well into the room will significantly enhance their sonic presence.
Enjoy.

@kalali   Thank you for your comments.

First step is patiently wait for delivery. LOL.

I was advised by Magnepan directly that a Rel sub woofer will do wonders. Apparently a single unit t5i will do.

So slowly I will tweak. 

I'll try to post my experience once I get going.

Cheers,

Good choice on the LRS's - great speaker.
Listening to them as I type. 

Nice
