Magnepan's new LRS?

I made a decision to suspend any spending this year in lieu of my daughter graduating from a few of her therapies to save and buy a place when housing prices correct. 
I keep eyeballing those Cantons for $1200 but now I think I may get a set of LRS.

In my mind I have a sound I’m trying to hit and it occurred to me that this might be that sound. In the 80’s we used to frequent Circuit City and in one of their speaker rooms they had, I think ML’s playing Billy Idol’s Sweet Sixteen. The vividness and immediacy and clarity as well as the BASS. I think they were ML’s as I seem to recall them having a boxed woofer at their base. They used to put them behind plastic plants and put big floor standers in your line of sight to fool you.

At $650 I may splurge. I have a generic sub and may then spring for 1 or 2 more later in the year (looking at Rythmik F12, SVS SB1000 or maybe REL in the $500-600 range).

Any updates from new owners?

I've had the LRS for a few months now. As is well known, these speakers require very careful positioning and so obtaining the best possible sound they can provide may prove to be impossible in some rooms (regardless of "treatments"). That statement of the obvious aside, my extended listening impressions are:
1) Stereo imaging is exceptionally good,
2) Midrange and treble reproduction are first rate (based on hearing recordings I'm quite familiar with on other equipment in other settings and in "real life", too),
3) Bass response (in my room, sans any sort of "treatments") is limited. I'm sure that without the constraints imposed by the dimensions of my own space, bass would be better...because other listeners say so,
4) Addition of dedicated stands will likely be a big help and they most certainly will be more stable/secure than those the factory provided. Magnepan's stand for the LRS leave the speakers very precariously balanced, at least on an industrial carpeted floor. I've ordered Magna Risers (for several reasons not germane to this topic) and I'm awaiting delivery.
5) With my system in my room, I'm very pleased with the LRS though sub-woofers would present a better musical picture. However, a reasonable pair would more than double the price of the original speaker. Still, the combination is economically competitive with other contenders.

Many use a REL Acoustics S-510 sub with their LRS's and say it's a perfect match ! 
 
The REL Acoustics Line Array Series S stacked 510 subwoofers could be the game-changer we have been waiting for the.. LRS's !   
 
REAL "GAME-CHANGER"...

According to the late breaking review in ASR, the LRS is virtually unlistenable??
