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

Manu

@jjss49 thanks. So in your view a class D amp with 100 wpc won’t work?

not all class d amps are the same, some are excellent (agd, atmasphere, mola) but some are lower tier budget models (like the bluesound and wiim combo units, nad, imo)

imo the latter camp is far from ideal to bring the best out of maggies, which need both tremendous drive capability, control and purity of tone/clarity up and down the range... the low end class d units are unable to supply what is needed (if they did the better makers wouldn’t have a market for their gear!!)

@yyzsantabarbara  I just saw your Nov 2025 ad on the US Audio Mart, pending sale. I'm guessing a Santa Cruz Bullit? 

email me if the pending falls through.
