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

@jjss49 +1- 100% correct Also, everyone suggesting the biggest amps is b.s. I had 300 wpc emotiva amp with maggie 1.7s. Put on a 35 yr old NAD class AB 100 wpc and they sounded SO much better. The quality of the amp matters more than wpc. I ended up buying Van Alstine monos for them which were great. The Coda suggestions are solid. I'd like to try them with benchmark and bryston amps. |
@greenngoldcheesehead @jjss49 which class D amp do you suggest that has HDMI and doesn't cost a bomb? @greenngoldcheesehead which DAC is that? I am looking for a DAC - not an expensive one. Over the last 3 years have tried multiple DACs - Topping, Orchid (from Taiwan) etc. but then ended up selling them as the marginal difference in the sound quality was, let's say, marginal. |
The WiiM has low-level outputs that you can use with any amplifier. WiiM Manual If you’re looking for suggestion for a class D amp, look at the NAD M23 200 WPC, and it is fairly reasonably priced. I think you'll be hard pressed to find a non A/V receiver or amplifier with HDMI in, although it is an interesting idea. |
