Magnepans or...Martin Logan

These new LRS are barely broken in and sounding better day by day.  They do like tubes although I use the tube preamp with SS monoblocks and the two REL T5s.  This Nak ZX-9 shows me just how good not only the deck is but how good the LRS are capable of sounding.  The placement issue is over done along with the "sweet spot" notion and further all this room dampening nonsense IMHO.  I listen to them 20 ft away and looking at them on edge as they reflect the whole way down the room that is 10x50x8 ft ceilings.  There are other placement possibilities in this room.  The sweet spot is nice but the point is the dipole is a plus not some kind of disadvantage as to placement as you point out.

Dear Amigos !

Once again thank you for all your Help ! Very valuable !

I finally did get the Magnepan´s 1.7. With the kind help from Peru´s Magnepan Distributor I had them built at the Magnepan Factory and shipped directly to Santiago, CHILE.

They are sitting in my music room !!

Now I need to put them into working status...very eager !

Could you please help me with some Amp alternatives ? to drive them .

Thank you in advance,

Best regards,

Robert

What Amps are available there. When I had 1.7 I used a Parasound Integrated and the sound was magic . It gives you 2.1 so adding a sub at some point is easy, you also get digital as well ad mc and mm phono inputs very hard to beat for the money if available there.
Enjoy your Maggie's you have selected magnificent speakers.

Johnto, Thank You !

What model of Parasound Integrated did you use ?

Local alternatives are far & beyond and expensive. Better to import !

Thanks again !
