Is Magnepan is coming out with it's own amplifier

Richard, I forgot to include the info that the B4 filters can be set to 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or 4th-order, which is of course 6, 12, 18, or 24dB/octave. Much more flexible than the Bryston x/o, which is regularly recommended and used with Maggies. The there are the x/o's from Marchand, who make custom boards to provide any x/o frequency and slope you desire. And, some of the Marchands are tubed!

I have used the Bryston 10b and 10b Sub for years and had great success with them. Two years ago I switched to a pair of the Pass Labs XVR-1 electronic crossovers, which are in another league all together.The Pass Labs offer extreme setup flexibility in setup and better sound. I still have the Bryston 10b/10b Sub crossovers if anyone is interested.
Cheers!

Not a good idea for a speaker manufacturer to put out their own amp. Other electronics manufacturers will stop recommending their speakers and may even bad mouth them. Acoustat made that mistake and look where it got them.

Do you know how long Magnepan has been around for and the value that their speakers give?  They have nothing to worry about even if every amplifier company in the world badmouthed them.  Any amp company to talk crap on Magnepan would be doing themselves a disservice and everyone knows that except you.  Come on, man.

The bigger "issue" from my recliner chair is that Magnepan undercuts their dealers by selling the LRS for a low price, shipping it directly, and giving a money back guarantee.  Next step up is the .7i which is 2x and the 1.7i which is 3x.  Frankly having bought the LRS and they sound good and by adding the two REL T5i subs it's a hella system at the 1.7i price so I can't imagine buying those speakers for that price.  It is possible I would move up to a 3.7i or maybe those new 30.7 minis so I give Wendell some credit for his appetizer theory.

yzfr1mike,

Is you 10b sub for sale?
