Magnepan LRS Speaker Review

[wric01]

Missing magnepan bass? It's your amp not enough juice for the job. LRS+ with a 150$ fosi za3 power it up sufficiently. Want more go mono with a second za3.

More amp power is not going to change the LRS' frequency response.....

Ummm .... He said there was more bass with the maggies, if you're responding to the post about the SVS speakers...

 

[Heyu]

Yes. Because the maggies are about half as loud at the same volume dial setting due to their low sensitivity. You have to lower the sub volume to blend it correctly.

The sub dial

 

[Heyu]

Sub dial is the same between lrs and svs. Lrs has more bass regardless of volume.

I think the point was that the sub dial needs to be much lower with the maggie, to match its lower sensitivity. If you are keeping the sub dial on the same setting, of course the less sensitive speaker will sound like it has more (relative) bass.
