Hah, I was listening to the review in the background when I heard Emerald Physics 600 2SE! I used it with my old 1.5 and now 1.7i and I can confirm that it works great. It replaced an old Hafler 9270. Diana Krall is another amazing vocal experience.
I'm flattered, thank you. I'm listening to them right now after having them out of rotation since May due to other speaker reviews. I almost forgot how addictively good they are. Thanks for watching!
I use the 1.7i in my main system. For my bedroom/home theater system I use the LRS+ plus an Arendal sub. I expected to buy a new amp for this system but my old Adcom 545 II drives them so well I don’t know what else I could want.
If you're happy, why change, since I would expect that the bedroom is more casual listening. I own the 545ii myself, and have used them with my .7's. .
It’s all depending on your room size…the LRS+ with a Rel sub worked wonderfully in my 12’x14’ room with a 8.5’ slopped to 7.5’ ceiling, bigger room require bigger Maggie’s…big Maggie’s in small room won’t work well…
Just bought the .7 one week ago today and I'm in love with these speakers and their unique open, beautiful, detailed sound. I find that I can play them almost 10 db lower than my box speakers with no loss of the quality sound and pure enjoyment. I'm using a Rogue Sphinx v3 integrated amp which has a tube preamp with 100 wpc and it is glorious. I find the soundstage to be broad and very realistic. I'm hearing things on albums I've played for over 40 years and discovering sounds I never heard before. I did an A-B. test with the LRS+ and it wasn't even close. Get the .7s.
@@stereofanoregon6481Your review of the .7 is the best on youtube. I love the portability. I like to play mine 6’ into my 20’ x15’ room and in 1 minute can move them back to the wall. For $2000., they can’t be beat for 3X the $.
I have .7s with magnarisers and Schit Vidar. I play a lot of vinyl and they sound exceptional in my small room. Would like to upgrade my amp at some point, but can live with it.
When you do decide to upgrade, I can't recommend highly enough the Emerald Physics EP600.2SE. I'm listening to the pairing right now, and it's insanely good for the $$. Thanks for watching!
I own the a23 (love it), and while it does power them decently, the .7's need more juice to get them truly jumping. I was going to pick up a second a23 and use them in mono-block mode, but after contacting Parasound, they warned off using that configuration with 4 Ohm loads.
I have the Magnepans 7's My room wouldn't support the 1.7's I did the jumper fuse upgrade and the Magnarisers stands I also have two SVS Ultra 13 subs I was powering the Maggie's with a Spectron musical MK lll class D amp designed by John Ulrich output is 500watts@8ohm 650@4ohms and 1,200 watts@1ohm and 65 amps I just list the right channel 😢 My VAC PA 100 100 tube amp does a pretty good job especially on the 4 ohm tap
I will tell you that in your case make sure the tweeter ribbon is on the outside, that will widen the sweet spot. As I said in the video, along with Adrian and others, the Maggies do not have pinpoint accuracy of placement. A definite advantage for group listening.

The 600.2SE is the real deal. I run it with the tubes engaged 100% of the time. Thanks for watching!
No one described how really special these speakers are any better.

I enjoy my .7s. I power them with either a pair of Schiit Vidars or a Pass Labs XA-25. Occasionally I use a Mytek Brooklyn Amp+.
I use the 1.7i in my main system.

Very good review.
That you, and thanks for watching.

Absolutely agree
Does anyone have experience with pairing Hegel H390 / H590 or krell k-300i amplifier?

Couldn't agree with you more. Nice choice with Rogue Sphinx v3. Thanks for watching!

@@markmarcantonio2796 looks really interesting, thanks for the recommendation. It's in my price range, too.
Hi and thanks for this. do you think they will play together with a parasound a23+ that produces 240 w in 4 Ohm? thanks..

@@stereofanoregon6481 thanks for your reply.
Have a look at the Orchard Audio amp with Gallium nitride GaN transistor D class amp 500watts@4 ohm
I know about Orchard amps, but have not had the opportunity to experience them.@@Jack96993
I have the lrs plus, and your right not for rock but great for well produced music
Thanks for watching!
Magnepan .7s driven by PARASOUND JC5 with dual SVS SB-16 Ultra.
Me too only 2 3000 micros. Straight up and down. Parasound Hint 6, pre
Must say I’ve had the exact opposite experience with class D, prefer AB
Started w 420w@4ohms D@@54tristin
I have the Magnepans 7's My room wouldn't support the 1.7's

That's a fine setup. The VAC PA is a fine match for the .7's.
Do they have a small sweet spot. I usually listen with 3 people on a couch. Thanks.

LRS are nice, but limited . The 0.7 is amazing when broken in
After hearing them side by side about a year ago, I couldn't agree more. Thanks for watching!
Had LRS 2 months
1.7is two years 😊
The original stands suck
