Maggie LRS amping question

It's a $350 speaker.... Perhaps your expectations are too great.

Time to move up the food chain.

It seems to me that would be WAY overkill. LRS is, after all, their entry level model. Not that it's not great for what it is. But you will do MUCH better, assuming you like what Maggies do, to move you to the 1.7.

I just installed a pair of LRS driven by a pair high-current 800-watt Parasound JC 1 monoblocks, and augmented with a pair of KEF KC62 subs.  The sound is impressive.

For $650 speakers, you can't ask for much more. If I were you, I would just try another amp that is higher end from a company who gives trial periods, or maybe borrow another amp from a friend to try if you have one who has multiples. After seeing as many reviews on those speakers as I have, they are supposed to sound better the higher grade equipment you have. 

I agree with Jasonbourne 52 not to bridge in mono for the reasons given.  

@avicci  I see this is your first post on your first day on Audiogon, welcome!

Regardless of the one post above, your LRS have received nothing but universal praise for the sound they deliver, regardless of place withing the Magnepan line.  It is one of the only speakers I can think of that I have never read anything but glowing reviews.  See @dbphd post above and enjoy.
