I wanted to try LRS. But the wait was 19 weeks. These speakers are amazingly popular. I found a pair of MMGs in like new condition for $490. Brought them home and hooked them up to my Dynaco clone VTA ST120 and was nearly in tears they sounded so good. I'm using a B&W subwoofer with them. You don't need lots of power but you do need an amplifier with lots of current. There are a number of youtube's and internet articles about 1000 watts not doing them justice but a high current 50w amplifier making them sing. My room is 24x12x8 and with 60w a channel I can play at a measured 105 db if I wanted to. But as the OP said, listening late night at low volume is also extremely rewarding. Good luck with them. Enjoy.
Maggie LRS so ridiculously good
I ordered a set of the LRS just to be able to say I have lived with Maggies at least once. I've had a lot of speakers and some big dog expensive ones like Kef Blade and Revel Salon 2 to name a couple. These 650 dollar LRS bring as much enjoyment as anything I've ever heard in so many ways. They don't love hard driving music for sure but for quiet listening or mellow type music they will give you transcendent moments. I swear they are breaking in or something and becoming a little more dynamic than when brand new. These have to be one of the greatest hifi bargains of all time. My 30 watt Pass 30.8 drives them well. I had 3.6 maggies many years ago and I snubbed them, thought they were so compressed sounding but maybe I was wrong or not using the right amp. These are just wow and so impressive what you can get for the money. I have a feeling a killer amp is a big part of the equation with these but even with a Naim Uniti Atom in a smaller space these are still awesome. This has to be the ultimate apartment speaker for someone who can't turn it up very loud and likes to listen late and night, you can really enjoy these at very low levels. Anyway I just wanted to put my enthusiasm on public record, if you are thinking of pulling the trigger do it and also give them some time don't write them off to quickly. I wish I had a separate space so I could always have a set of maggies ready to listen to when the mood and music was just right.
