Magnepan LRS+ which amps do you use ? * 100 watts or less **


I have a pair coming in this week and wondering if any folks are having good results with 100watt or less amps 

i have a Rogue  Cronos mag that's about 100 watts , also an Exsposure 2510 that's about 110 into 4 ohms 

do you really need hundreds of watts to enjoy these speakers ?

I ordered the LRS+ about 3 weeks ago myself and spoke with a rep (Eric) at Magnepan about this. I asked if he thought my 30 wpc Luxman 590 AXII would drive them and he said it would. It was made clear to me that it's not the watts, but the current that matters. And a class A that doubles in watts at 4 ohms is the answer. I will report back when I get these because I am very curious myself. 

I received the LRS+ a few months ago for my bedroom/home theater system (for use with a sub) and assumed I would have to get a new amp.  I was pleasantly surprised to find that my old Adcom 545II drives them so well that I don’t even know what I would be looking for in another amp.

I believe the Adcom is rated around 100 watts into 8 and 150 watts into 4 but it was sold as a high current amp.

 

 

I have heard the LRS+  with the Exposure 2510 amp [ which I own ]  and thought combo was very nice .

I'll try that once I get the speakers .

 

I do have an ace up my sleeve - Rogue audio Pharaoh 1  . wasn't particularly enamored with the class D but would be willing to" dust it off " and put it to work if need be .

I have seen lots of positive reviews for Hegel amps  but $$
