Magnepan LRS Support Group?!


I ordered a pair of LRS a couple weeks ago. Backorder time is 6 months! I don't know if anybody else is feeling the uncomfortable longing after ordering theirs? How are you passing the time? I'm kidding (I guess), but I've never had to wait 6 months for a new toy! Let me know if you're also re-reading the reviews that made you take the plunge and planning your listening space alterations. Maybe some of you who have gotten a pair recently can keep us sane by sharing your experience with what we are waiting patiently for. Thanks!

The LRS’s displaced some Salk Sound Veracity HT2-TL’s in my system.  The Salks measured incredibly well and sounded pretty nice!  The LRS’s were my preference though.  I never measured the Magnepans response and they could have measured poorly but that didn’t matter to me because the Maggies sounded awesome!

1.7i's are exceptionally good... and a steal at the asking price, undoubtedly the sweet spot in the line, what a wonderful speaker, highly revealing and utterly pleasureable at the same time

better stands really help (i use magna's, myes good too)

of course, as with all true dipoles, setup must be done right but the results are absolutely worth it...

 

My dealer told me a year wait a few weeks ago. He said they don't make any money off them so they are not prioritized in production. Sadly i wish they would raise the price a little so its a benefit for them to sell and make them in a timely manner. 

@glennewdick thanks for that info. They raised the price $100 from what they were (my order was $750), so I guess they're getting something extra. I also heard that the factory is experiencing the same challenge as a lot of places hiring staff to meet the demand. Did you order them with a year wait? I feel for you!

 

@b_limo thanks for the recommendation and for your comment about liking the LRS. I think the size and price of the LRS is best for my current purposes, but we'll see if I trade up down the road.
