Magnepan LRS+ and WiiM Amp
I currently run my Qualio IQ (89 dB, 4 Ohm) speakers with a WiiM Amp both for music and it is also connected to the TV via HDMI. The WiiM amp runs them very well. Recently listened to the Magnepan LRS+ at a friend's house and was really surprised witht the clarity of sound. Since then have been thinking of getting a pair. The only place I think where I can keep the Magnepans is in the TV room to provide space both sides and I am limited to using the WiiM Amp due to the HDMI feature. Looking for advice/experience on pairing the LRS+ with the WiiM Amp.
thanks

@yyzsantabarbara thank you for the detailed response. I was able to go to the shop and audition them. They usually audition them on a Rogue Sphinx. I listened on them and then on WiiM Amp. Of course the Rogue was better but the WiiM was not bad at all. Long story short I bought them.

@g2the2nd thanks. I bought them. Seem to be doing fine for now with the WiiM. |
Congrats they are great speakers. They do not like loud deep bass. Down the road if upgrading get a sealed sub (Rythmic or SVS) and if the WIIM can low pass the output to the LRS do it, You will have a full range system that within volume limits is crazy good for the $$. Enjoy - If you are into jazz, try this track: |
@yyzsantabarbara why are you against having speakers near your tv? Are you still worried their magnets will mess with the crt guns? |
It is because of reflections. I will hear those reflections and that usually causes fatigue. It has happened 100% of the time I tried a TV in various homes and rooms. I would rather use my RAAL SR1a earphones if I had to have a TV in the same room. Actually, I would not even have a 2-channel system them. I would just go with the SR1a. |
