Magnepan LRS

First time posting here. Two questions- 

1. Looking for comments/thoughts on LRS. 
2. Can these speakers be driven with a Carver M1.0t

I know this is a vintage amp, so not certain if I should have posted this here or in the vintage forum. FWIW - I picked this amp up a few years ago at a garage sale for $15.......obviously a real bargain......thanks. Ron.

Then I guess that my dynaco stereo 70 would even be worse.........ughhhh. Thanks for the feedback.

Fantastic speaker for the $.
Just as important as the amplifier is the room you put them in.

You might want to consider the Crown XLS 1502 amp.
The Crown will drive the LRS speakers without breaking the bank.
The dimensions of the LRS maybe smaller compared to other Magnepans but I certainly wouldn’t call them ‘mini’.

Big open sound you only get from panel speakers. So I say if you have the room and are curious you can make it work.

+1 for the Crown XLS 1502! $399 new and 500+ wpc/4ohms! Now if it only had an extra zero in its price ...

@OP, 
I would PM Audioconnection.
John Rutan sells the Maggies, and would know if your dynaco is up to snuff.
And, don't worry about contacting a dealer. Johnny is the real deal and won't try to sell you something. He gives great advice- for free.
Just search for him on the Audiogon forums.- You'll see...
