Magnapan LRS+ VS .7

Hello All,

Thinking about trying Magnapan for the first time. Looking at mainly the .7s. My room is about 9’ x 12’ and the speaker placement is limited. (It’s my living room with TV and such) Listening location is quite close at about 7 feet if the speakers are out from the back wall 20 inches. Speakers will be placed about 7.5 feet apart. Not much to work with but I have no choice. Actually the whole cottage is only 20’ x 20’. VERY simple easy life, retired. 😎

Anyone have the luxury of being able to compare the LRS+ and .7s? My amp is REGA Aethos. Mostly CD listening for now. Jazz, instrumental guitar/piano, Some R&B, light rock. But, NIRVANA is within arms reach when in the mood.

Can’t really go to a dealer. None anywhere close within four hundred miles. IF they even have them in stock.

Now using SVS Ultra Towers with subwoofer.

I’m not sure. Mine shipped from TMR so they may have some on hand stock.

I started with the LRS (not the +) and it made me want more. I got the .7s and I thought it gave me more but then I wanted more. The .7s can be gotten fairly cheap used. I'd go that direction.

Lawrence, do you live in metro Detroit?  The Sound advantage in Rochester Hills certainly has 1.7’s and 3.7’s on the showroom floor. Haven’t been in for awhile but they were promising to have LRS a few months ago.

Update 7/1/2023

I’ve decided to try the LRS+ just to get the feel of a planer speaker and see/hear what will do in my room. Contacted TMR and they had a set in stock. By the time I got back them to order, that set was sold. Now 4-6 week wait for Black.

Sent a message to Sound Advantage this morning.

"do you live in metro Detroit? "  Oh heck no.  Nowhere near.  I live in Michigan's Upper Peninsula.
