Maggie LRS so ridiculously good

As far as other current speakers I have.  My main use speakers for a little while now has been Klipsch forte III with Decware Zen triode amp.  I also have the Zu Dirty weekend (another incredible speaker for the money) I just sold My Kef Blade 2.  The Blade 2 while having much bigger bass and being more refined in many ways just left me cold mostly which seems crazy given the huge price difference.  These maggies though wow I think they must have improved with break in because they seemed so anemic and no good with anything remotely dynamic and loud.  If slamming sound is your thing maybe the Dirty Weekend or a Klipsch.  The LRS is so transparent and smooth perfect tone.  I have these hooked up to a Pass 30.8 amp being fed by DCS Rossini DAC and clock so electronics are way off probably what you would normally pair with a 650 speaker but that is what I have for now.  I did try with Naim Uniti Nova and Atom and those work pretty good too.  The 80 watt Nova runs out of steam way before the 30 watt Pass amp.  

The LRS are so light and easy to move, if you had a system with a good amp you could keep them in a closet and pull them out on an occasion.  I'm doing that now and I have no desire to put them away anytime soon. I know they aren't my end all be all speaker but just had to share my enthusiasm. Amazing you can buy this factory direct (same goes for Zu dirty weekend) made in the USA for such a low price.  Decware too. These USA companies are killing it and we don't have to pay prices that would be much much higher if sold through the normal dealer supply chains.  

This thread is tempting me to try my first new speaker in 28 years.  With the Magnepan 60-day trial offer, what's the risk?
Do you think my 175 wpc Classe would drive the LRS well enough?  My room is only 11' wide by 14' deep, but the rear wall is mostly open with another room beyond.

keegiam, I think it's more important how the amp does with 4 ohm or below loads than how many watts.  I've tried my McCormack dna .5 and Rogue Atlas Magnum 3 tube amp (each 100 watts) with good results.  But, my Hegel H360 is the best combination.  420 watts into 4 ohms and damping factor of over 4000 does the trick very nicely.    

As mentioned, they are not the best for slam or rock concert levels.  But get plenty loud for me.  They excel with drums, voices, guitar, horns, air.  I will most likely be picking up a REL sub in the near future to help flesh things out.

Yeah I think you'd be fine with the Classe amp.  I'm running a 30 watt amp in an 18x26 room that opens to an upstair and it get loud enough for me.  You aren't going to get super loud kick ass sound out of these but what they do well is pure magic.  Since mine have broken in they seem to be opening up more and not as closed and compressed sounding as when brand new.  Give them a chance when you get them don't write them off to soon

I listen mostly to jazz, blues and guitar solos/duets/trios.  I don't need to play loud rock, but I do like to hear those types of music at nearly realistic levels (like seeing a live music in a small club.)  I'm a vinyl head and am not opposed to dabbling in tubes at some point.  In the process of getting my SOTA/SME V refurbished & rewired, with a new A-T ART9XA cartridge to boot - it should be ready any day now.

I'm used to more of a full range sound (Aerial 10t's) but am curious if I'd get hooked on the spaciousness of the LRS.  Also, I've always loved electrostatics but, like many, never wanted huge panels.

The reason I went Classe pre and Classe amp was my concern over the tubes deteriorating (or the nagging thought that they were).  I think I was just being paranoid.
