It is always a pleasure listening to you guys - always on point!
-
Really enjoy listening to the host speak. Knowledgeable and we'll spoken.
-
Agree about the warmer tonality of the LRS+ vs. .7s. I got rid of my .7s and kept the LRS+. Always surprised by the LRS's for what they are.
-
I enjoy this channel very much.
-
Thank you guys for sharing your thoughts on these speakers. I have been struggling with the decision between LRS vs .7 vs 1.7 and I think it’s just going to come down to room size for me but hearing the discussion helps me to think through the problem. Thanks again!

Really well done!!!! Thank you!!! Concert for George...The Inner Light performed by Anoushka Shankar and Jeff Lynne( and others)... is over the top... on You Tube... and if Anoushka's beauty is stuck in your head for the next week... well...You're Welcome...

Nostalgic mention of ProAc super tablettes there..they were the first speakers I actually bought when I was 18... Roksan Xerxes, Rega RB300 re wired with Van den hul,Audio Techica ATF5, Arcam Delta 90 on Sound organisation ZO21 stand, Naim naca5 and my ProAc on Target HJ24t stands... That was 1988, ten years after having interest in my grandfathers system..... ... The interest has never left me.. and will always be a link to my grandad.

Very interesting and informative guys . Being a Quad 989 electrostatic user for many years i am now sorely tempted to give Magnepans a try. However before i do can you please define for me in length , width and height what you consider a small , medium and large room is ? Thanks !
-
The LS35/A and Spica TC-50s were important milestones in my audio journey. A rare couple of older speakers that are still excellent today.
-
Thanks for this video guys I've been looking over the magnepan lrs / 0.7. I'm hoping I can find a local hifi place to geek out at - or road trip to Canada some day ;) My biggest concern is amp ;) I'm building an m2x . The toroid is like 650kva. Knowing they have an option to test out in home makes me much much less nervous!

This video is very organic
-
Have have heard mixed reviews for the magnepan LRS and power requirements. Would the mcintosh mc302 and the mc 402 be enough to drive these speakers well?
-
I owned a pair of Innersound Kaya electrostatics and they did sound stage and imaged like no other speaker I’ve heard. I had a Ayre SACD player and a VPI Turntable with and Aesthetics preamp, and a Manley Steelhead phono preamp, with a Benchmark DAC. I was in heaven

Hi, I was wondering what is your opinion in the difference between Magnapan .7is and 1.7is ? i have the space for them both and have decided to use a Hagel 390 to drive the speakers. Where i live, it is impossible for me to be able to try both speakers before making a decision to buy one of the Magnapan speakers
-
Adrian, if you haven't already, listen to Sarah Morrau's cover of Both Sides Now. I never knew Joni Mitchell wrote it until you mentioned it recently along with how much you like Joni's recent version.
-
Wow - I had nearly totally forgotten about Ring; blast from the past! I went there infrequently when I lived in Toronto; I spent more time at Bay-Bloor because it was very close to where I lived at Spadina & Bloor.
-
Years ago I had the Magnepan IIIa speakers so I suspect the NEW version to be better in some ways. I enjoyed the IIIa's overall.
-
Interesting observation about panels not being able to image. My apogee Centaurs created a pinpoint image that was an almost palpable image. If only I could audition a pair of LRS in Adelaide Australia.
-
I believe my vintage 1095 Rotel 5.1 surround sound dedicated amp, which is rated conservatively by Rotel, at 200w per channel would do a fine job in powering either the both the LRSs or the .7s just fine. Any thoughts??

Vibrato is a way varying the pitch higher and lower around the main frequency. It can be broad or narrow or fast or slow or anything in between.
