Glad to hear of your experience with the LRS. I’ve been considering trying a pair of them with my Prologue Classic......Listening to more than a fair bit of jazz, esp. jazz vocals and am consigned to placement on the long side of a narrow-ish “living room end of a living space/kitchen” type floor plan...
Primaluna prologue premium integrated and magneplanar LRS
There are a lot of forums on Magneplanars and the power required to make them singing. Very often hundreds watts are mentioned as a prerequisite to a good listening session.
I have a 35 watts/channel tube amplifier and my LRS are connected through the 4 ohms binding posts. I go to classic concerts once a while and usually the sound pressure level in a live concert is similar to what I hear in my living room except for pipe organ music or huge performance as in Mahler symphonies with 400 singers, 200 musicians and a powerful organ.
Maybe my amplifier walks on an elevated rope but I don't feel, I should write, hear any audible stress from the amplifier or the speakers.
We should remember that to get the sensation of a system playing twice as loud, you will need ten times the power.
If high fidelity is the aim of sound reproduction, having a performance much louder than in the reality is a caricature.
