Maggie LRS amping question

If you love what you have that is Something special.  As I am aging  closer to the "Get off my lawn" type, I am loathe to have a product that is telling me to buy more products!  Unless you have the money to spare, and enjoy spending it, I would not want to push you in that direction.

My friend brought his LRS over to use with my Pass 250.8  it surprised me how good these speakers sounded as I have 3.7i for the $ I'd say unbeatable. We then added my 2 subs to the mix and it was truly astonishing to hear.

You do need plenty of great power these LRS speakers took a lot more volume on my amp to reach the same playing level of the 3.7i.

Enjoy

lrs will sound better and better with a better source, or better amp... the speaker, set up properly with proper stands (perhaps with subs supporting), has tremendous resolution and shows through any poor sounding source and/or weak amplification upstream of it

of course common sense should prevail, but it is not unreasonable to have a $2000-3000 hegel or pass amp drive it... of course if one wants to hear what the speaker is truly capable of... this is very very atypical of most sub-$1000 a pair speakers

Maggies operate at low impedance, driven more by current than watts. Bridging an amplifier produces greater watts at the expense of current. 

I am not familiar with your Rotel amp. If it delivers far greater watts into low impedances than the rated watts at 8 ohms, and it sounds clean at high volumes, then it seems OK on the power front. 

Advice on improving the presentation requires more information regarding your source, room size, room treatment, speaker placement. Are you willing to pursue options other than the purchase of a second Rotel amplifier?

I should add that I also am interested in owning a pair of these speakers.
