I hope it isn't a breach of etiquette to post several questions about the system I am trying to set up! I appreciate everyone's help! Thought this might be of general interest, as well. From Magnepan website:
The LRS (Little Ribbon Speaker) is a full-range quasi-ribbon speaker that was designed from the ground up to give you a pretty good idea what to expect from the 20.7 or 30.7. The LRS was designed using high-end electronics and mono blocks. The LRS will perform nicely with a receiver, but it was intentionally designed to extract the most from high-end amplifiers and electronics. The LRS expects more from a properly designed high-current amplifier. That is a radical departure from most entry-level loudspeakers. If you put your expensive high-end amplifier on the LRS, you will hear the difference.
So far, these speakers, playing Amazon Music streaming --> Oppo HA-2 DAC--> Cambridge Audio AM-10 Topaz Integrated, sound good but fairly anemic. Does anyone have any idea what "high-end amplifiers and electronics" actually means? In a world where $250,000 amplifiers and $75,000 CD players exist, it is hard to figure what price they consider "high-end". Thanks again!
By the way, I am a guitar teacher, so if there are any questions I can answer about the one thing I do know about, just ask!
