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

Any views from anyone on the Vincent SV500, Cambridge EVO 150 and Mateox Audio MD1?

None of those are a good fit.  I did regional search (Dubai, Saudi Arabia) for amps that would work and found nothing used.  You’ll need to look to Europe for options.  There you can find used Krell (FPB, KSA/KMA, KAV series), Bryston 4B‑SST / SST² / 4B³) and perhaps the Hegel H20 / H30. 

Brystons are brutes and last forever.  The 4Bs are plentiful on the used market and I see them all the time on Ebay (US).  

I know this is a hassle, but it's what's required for those speakers. 

@patrickalston thanks for taking the time to do this. What sites did you look at for Europe?

will looknfor Bryson.

I used AI (Copilot) to search for these.  Hifishark.com is a good site to search for everything.  Here's a link to suitable Bryston's for sale:
