Magnepan LRS plus & Atma-Sphere digital amps


I was wondering if anyone was using the Atma-Sphere digital amps with the Magnepan LRS + speakers

I don’t think Atma-Sphere makes digital amps, they make class D amps.

The  Atmas-sphere Class D are GAN amps. I used 2 different GAN amps on m LRS+ and one was adequate, the PeachTree GAN400.The other is a better amp but underpowered for the LRS+, the PeachTree GAN1 (modded).

The AGD and Atmas-sphere, are considered higher end then the PeachTree GAN amps I used. However, I have 2 amps that I think will be to the very top for the LRS+. The Sanders Magtech is exceptional on the LRS+ (used for $4k or less). The CODA #16 is even better. It has a bit more bass.

Yoo need a strong amp for the LRS+ and a bit of warmth is a good fit for me. I owned the Parasound A21+ before but never tried it with the LRS+.I would use that amp if I were on a budget.

Actually, that gives me an idea,

 

@izzy2 Our local dealer demos the LRS + with a set of our class Ds so I guess it works OK. Unless your room is exceptionally large it should be fine otherwise. The LRS+ doesn't seem as power hungry as some of the larger Maggies.

I have the Atma-Spere Digital Amps with Tekton Moabs and they push them effortlessly. These are really great amps.
