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

The thing about the LRS+ is they increasingly shine as the quality of upstream electronics improves. Want the best from them? Get the best electronics you can afford. @yyzsantabarbara If your LRS+ were outshined by KEF LS50's something was wrong with your setup or the amp was insufficient. I too have owned both. |
@jjss49 thanks. So in your view a class D amp with 100 wpc won’t work? |
@dxbwineguy here is a YT link to ID the track. https://youtu.be/GbI4QuLZovw?si=tXbHoZXsR5BrNWDg the previous link was a Tidal link. |
@marktheshark The LRS+ was not outshined, it had a wall of sound that the LS50 Meta cannot touch. However, the LRS+ are not as clean on top as the LS50 Meta. My Magnepan Mini are also better on top than the LRS+. Actually, the Mini are better than both, if the space is small. The Mini also scales with amplification like my CODA #16. The Mini with the #16 is much better than the same on the LRS+. |
@g2the2nd will listen. |
