Evolving from near-field to larger floor space...

Posted by vacuous on July 23, 2021 at 14:15:58:

Maybe time for me to evolve. I'm thinking of purchasing the Maggie LRS.

Used to have Martin Logan Sequels. Before that had large Maggies. Loved them both when I had a lot of floor space. But neither worked well when I moved into a tiny apartment. So I sold them. Replaced them with Adam Audio AX7s, a near-field speaker with built in amplification.

I've changed residence since then, and now I have plenty of floor space. And I've got an Audio Research VT130 amplifier that's currently unused. Would love to plug it into the the LRSes. Got a top quality subwoofer to to integrate with the LRSes - Muse model 18. Preamplifier is the Audio research SP8.

Seems like the LRSes for only $650 would be a major upgrade. Especially with Audio Research VT130 amplification, because Maggies love power. And the Muse Sub goes up to 50 hz, the exact low end of the LRS at 3 db.

Worried only that the LRSes would be too much of a toy, under-performing relative to my other gear. Maybe need to scale up to bigger Magnepans?
