what amps/subwoofers are you using for Magnepan LRS?


apologies as I've scoured online for specific pairings regarding amp/subwoofer combos and can't seem to find too many within the various threads
I've seen amp recommendations in the form of Hegel h90, Rogue Sphinx and Crown XLS
Sub recommendations seem to be diverse, from what I gather small sealed subs and REL's are popular

what are your proven combos that you use?

First system with the LRS was a Conrad Johnson PV10B with Muse 150 monoblocks.  The bass was lacking, I added two REL T5i and was satisfied.  Easy to blend in spite of all the nonsense about how "hard it is" to do that.  Placed the subs directly behind along a side wall with the speakers about 3 ft off the wall and toed in with tweets outside.
Second system with Bryston BP20 and MPS-1 and 4BSST.  No subs used.  Placement in a big room used an alcove to create two corners.  Bass satisfying enough.  OK it's not 100% integration with the subs but close enough.  Use your room if you can. 

Bottom line just buy Bryston IMHO although the tube preamp was sweet with them.
