Looks like you've put together a great combination of quality components into a single package at a reasonable price.

If I had the room I could put this in I would buy it in a heartbeat. Great concept!

Holy crap Mikey!!! Not only did you shame the likes of Magico’s but also Magnepan itself. Going to hustle hard to get one of these.

" this messes everything up ........ this scabbles people's brains " - Mikey

Just listened to a pair yesterday, crazy crazy imazing en spacious soundstage far beyond every speaker ive owend even a couple of martin logans.. Def gonna buy a pair of these soon ❤

Mikey…thanks so much for your hard work. I and many others appreciate what you are doing and that is to ERADICATE the BULLSHIT with not only words but actions. The proof is in the pudding. I had the .7’s and now the 1.7’s but would like to achieve what you HAVE DONE already with the LRS+. I was offered a deal for the 3.7’s but I hope to talk to you about what I can do with the 1.7’s (which I love)before I enter into any offer of stepping up once again with Magnepan. Thanks

I have a pair of lRS+. I have noticed they sound better vertical than the angle their stand provides. I haven’t tried elevating them. The give my B&Ws a run for their money at a fourteenth of the price. Yes I run mine with a subwoofer.

Awesomeness. I’d like to see a servo-controlled sub to match the speed of the Magnepan speaker, but to each his own.

Thanks for your great suggestions in your channel... I'm trying the following at the moment: 1. Replace the fuses with copper tubes / wire (have silver wire coming) 2. Replace the stock jumpers with silver jumpers Not even broken in yet and the sound from the LRS+ is amazing in all respects - even the bass is great! Sounds like "Live Performances!" Will soon have your other tweaks in place: the Sublime Acoustic crossover with my REL subs. And some Sound Anchor stands to elevate them in vertical position. I'm sure the total Mike Powel mods will produce amazing sound - they're already amazing. And... this is compared to my other great speakers (e.g. Harbeths, Linkwitz, Magnestand-Maggie QRS 1.6's, LaHave Mela's, Legacy Calibre's, DC10 Audio (Viking Acoustic) Berlin's, etc....). Thanks again!!!

The Best of the Best of the Best 👌

I did the same thing on a much lower budget where I used Dayton 12in HF series driver in a low Q (.600) sealed enclosure. My design sacrificed low end extension for no ringing group delay artifacts. It blends so well with my 1.7i mains. I'm still using an active xover modeled in Sound Easy cuz I'm lazy. Can't wait to watch this when I get off work

These little speakers sure are pretty amazing!

Hifi Jesus with a Christmas miracle in July!

Awesome Mikey!!!!

Nicely done! These remind me of the old Acoustat Spector 1100. I’m sure yours would kick the shit out of the Acoustats.

I subscribed. I intend to use these speakers with this setup. Schitt audio: Tyr mono amps, Freya+ preamp, Bitfrost DAC I will also purchase Urd CD transport. I would love to have your setup. Do you still have

Mikey, I'm still enjoying those Verastar ribbons and your maggie upgrade kit on my 7's, but if I had more time, I'd go for this too!

Would adding a a pair of super tweeter provide much sonic benefit to that setup, Mikey?

Outstanding, Miiley!

My Dad's 1985/87 Magnepans. I personally have only had box speakers. I found that the magmepans sound that just doesn't compare to the box speakers. Subs also make a difference when you're using box speakers.

Mikey, I have a pair of MG12/QR Magnepan speakers. I wonder if your setup could work with my speakers. I also would like to know if you have listened to a setup of smaller Maggie’s like these adding one DWM bass panel that Magnepan makes. I know it’s not a sub, but they claim it makes smaller Maggie’s sound much like their bigger products. Any opinion or comments?

Which amp you can recommend me for this lrs+? Thanks

Ok, how big of a room would this set up be good in? My room is 20x30 with speakers on the 20' wall and seating is abt 15' from the rear wall. I have been messing with the open baffle li audio and it's missing and gets shouty at abt 75 db. I have been thinking of going this route instead of the bigger Maggie's

A black re-clothed grill and wood veneer sub enclosure would look better than any Magico with those silver 125s sitting back there. Wish I could afford a pair. Maybe I'll DIY something similar with servo subs one day. Awesome job Mikey. 👍

Very cool! Will these work or can they be modded to accomodate the Magnapan .7's?

I have 20.7s do you think these would outperform those? I am guessing you will say of course. My only question is the total size of the soundstage which you know all to well given your 7 foot panels. I also have tympani IVa and wonder if there is anything you do with those. Something about those speakers that are not matched by any of the current models even the 30.7.

thank you Mike!!

How much for just the BOXES? Are the woofers sealed or vented in this setup?

hi man! which different are there with apogee centaur minor? I remember your review in this channel a long time ago.

Killer idea!

Awesome!

Hey Mike 👋 very cool 😎 stuff!!! How do they compete against the fisher & fisher? Thanks 🙏

So awesome! (also just watched the 2 part factory tour... amazing!) Just one question though which I hope you can answer... The thing I keep on hearing/reading about Magnepans in general and the LRS+ more specifically is that they don't play well at lower volumes and only come to life at high(er) volumes... I myself mostly listen at averages of ca. 70dB and lower... Does this rule out the LRS+ for me?

Confusing because the subs are not servo controlled. Those subs will not be able to keep up with the speed of the panels, so how does this make sense?

Hey OCD Mike! Great video and offer. One question regarding the LRS Platinum whole package. The SublimeAcoustic crossover uses TRS jacks, at least the one offered on their website. Would one have to purchase XLR to trs adapters?

Hi Mikey, 1st commenting here ;)

system looks awesome mikey

Artist- Computer Jockeys Song- Ping Pong Be cool to hear this through those magies.

Stupid good value for the$$ sir. I come from very high end car audio and still do not understand why home audio has not embraced fully active set ups?

Super good deal 👍🏻…!

My Edina brother is a freaking genius! HAHA

Would the panels benefit from an upgraded crossover now that there is less demand in frequency range being pushed through the panel? In order to bring out a little more top end sparkle.

Why you have the projector facing backwards? Is there a screen setup back there? Does that have it's own speakers behind the screen?

Which Baffle Step Correction frequency setting do you recommend when using the Sublime Acoustic crossover with Maggies w/ subwoofers?

What about Martin Logan ESL? Whats your thoughts on those speakers? I've heard them they sound amazing

Hi Mike. I have a pair of Model 125s from you. I also have a pair of REL T9/i subs. Could I make your setup work with that? If so, do I need the crossover and what else? Thanks.

Give That Man a Cigar...!!!

Out of curiosity but isnt this just an attempt at getting a Martin Logan electrostatic speaker by doing this upgrade.

Hey Mikey, great setup! Do you have a favorite sub brand/model?

'Again, this is not made in China.' Wow!

Nice Mikey!

one question: how are they as amp load? Hard on the amp or not? what about other magnepans?

what's the difference betweenthis set up and a comparable martin logan?this gets me interested....

ur reselling magnepans ? or only the the bottom for 4500?

Homerun bargain.. 🍿🎯✌

I'm a little surprised.......................... You chose a crossover with OpAmps. I would have bet $100 you would have gone with a line level passive model. 🔈🔉🔊

So I could buy the box with the subs only? I have the LRS and I assume it would still work with them?

Killer! Sound bites? Hoz the cables coming?

Are those GR Research open subs? Servo woofers?

Would this upgrade work on the 1.6qr?

That said... I just realised that your mod come with amps and subs??!! That's 4200 pounds in UK. Very interesting.

Sweeeeeet 👍

Does it come in black?

WOW

Sorry I hear that they are for sell, I just have to go on line and find others.

could you please give me the size of the sub woofer. I will love to build those please. W X H X D.. Thank you.

Great demo but you definitely don’t need a $5000 amp to make the magnepan’s Sing

Sort of Martin Logan solution…

Huge results in such a large room with such a small panel??? That doesn't ring true to me.

Now if you'd only get a turntable folks might take you seriously 😊

Mikey its cool but WAY too much! Rowland amps driving EQ'd from a Viola amp? Come on man, Really? The amp costs more than everything else!!!! Just keep-in it real..... this is BS

I love the sound of the Magnapan. But they are so ugly...

Ok enough with the talk, hurry up with the sound demo 🍾

You criticize people for just talking, strange enough you are doing the same. You want blind believers to buy your stuff. Good luck with that.

Pretty bad to the bone.

You are absolutely right a great sub pairing with the LRS+ creates 10k sonics. I do suspect that the open baffle subwoofer system (GR Research right?) directly behind them integrated with the LRS+ would yield even better results. Love the aesthetics of building each panel with it's own integrated sub. Mid bass is a weakness of panels in general. The sub can be crossed over 100hz+ to help with mid bass reproduction. I must admit that I am the guy that takes down firing subs and flips them on their side, cross them over 100hz+ and use them to help my bookshelf's with mid bass duty. I would do the same with the LRS+'s. Admittedly my experience with panels is limited though. Audio is as much a tactile experience for me as a musical one. Chest pounding mid bass is absolutely a must. In your opinion do the LRS+ panels satisfy your taste in mid bass? I found them a little thin in that department. Sub integration is key. So, wish I had your budget. Drooling over all your gear. I just run a PS Audio stack with the MKII DAC and call it a day. All my budget allows. IRL I would be your best friend just to play with your toys. Thank You for this piece. The LRS+ panels agreed are one of, if not the best value in audio today.

Mikey. Magnepans have terrible waterfall plots because the panels continue to move when the signal stops. Also when a vocalist sings in front of you it is point source the vocalist doesn't have a mouth at the back of their head singing at the same time. Very unnatural sound. I can give you 901 reasons it doesn't sound like a live performance. Back to the drawing board.
