what amps/subwoofers are you using for Magnepan LRS?


apologies as I've scoured online for specific pairings regarding amp/subwoofer combos and can't seem to find too many within the various threads
I've seen amp recommendations in the form of Hegel h90, Rogue Sphinx and Crown XLS
Sub recommendations seem to be diverse, from what I gather small sealed subs and REL's are popular

what are your proven combos that you use?

First system with the LRS was a Conrad Johnson PV10B with Muse 150 monoblocks.  The bass was lacking, I added two REL T5i and was satisfied.  Easy to blend in spite of all the nonsense about how "hard it is" to do that.  Placed the subs directly behind along a side wall with the speakers about 3 ft off the wall and toed in with tweets outside.
Second system with Bryston BP20 and MPS-1 and 4BSST.  No subs used.  Placement in a big room used an alcove to create two corners.  Bass satisfying enough.  OK it's not 100% integration with the subs but close enough.  Use your room if you can. 

Bottom line just buy Bryston IMHO although the tube preamp was sweet with them.
I'm just ordered a martin logan 800x which is small, sealed, cheap, and has speaker level connections, can also be run down or front firing and I think as room correction also
I'd like to find a matching amp that I can get for well under hegel money

I’m in the market for an integrated amp in the $2k-3k range, and a couple of weeks ago I spent an hour auditioning the Rega Elex-R and the bel canto C5i, each playing on the Maggie LRS without a sub. That they were playing on LRS was purely a coincidence, but it’s relevant to your question so here you go.

Of the two, I preferred the Rega. The bel canto probably had a bit more clarity and perhaps imaged a little bit better, maybe a little more revealing and maybe even a bigger soundstage, but I thought the Rega was more full-bodied, had more layers to the sound, had definitely better bass, and just had more of an analog sound that I preferred.  I just connected with the music better through the Rega I guess. I was listening to Buddy Guy (blues), and the Rega dug deeper and sounded grittier, which is what that style of music calls for to my ears anyway. The room was a small listening room and listening to CD (Rega CD player), not sure about cables.

I’m not sure if it was the Rega’s class AB versus the bel canto’s class D that gave it the fuller-bodied gritty presentation that I preferred, or something else.
OP
I have been happly running a ML Dynamo sub with my LRS for months, I truly forget it's there. Talk about painless seamless integration.
Amplification is bigger dough though, using an Ayre EX 8.

The ML should be perfect for you IMHO.
