Great comparó! I’m on the fence about what to look for on either model, I’ve got a better idea now! Thanks for the demo.

Both speakers need work from stock form. There are response anomalies and colorations due to interference effects from overlapping responses of the tweeter and woofer. Move a few degrees and the sound changes. If crossed over the way they should the "ribbon" tweeter should play the treble and not overlap the same frequencies as the bass panels. Likewise the bass panels should be kept out of the treble zone. But on the LRS, Magneplanar has done the opposite... both drivers operate nearly full range with the attendant interference effects as you move even a few degrees around the speaker.

I was just completely shocked by how good it sounds. I am still using my old onkyo home theatre AVR Tx 1007, which sounds good to me but I am planning to order an used SIT3, it’s not cheap and I am just curious based on your experience, is there an totally audible apparent difference between sit3 and other amp?

I am with you regarding the rather clinical / sterile sound of some of the current design tube amps. With that said, the orginal Stereo 70 driver board considerably limits bass definition and overall dynamics. Replacing the original 7199 with an adapted 6U8 or 6GH8a I find further degrades the sound. Upgrading this board to either the Triode Electronics or VTA driver board eliminates these issues and makes the amp an impressive performer. This is my experience as a long time hobby builder / restorer who has owned or built around 10-15 ST70, MkIV & MKIII amps.

Too much room involvement in the OBs bass (duh!), otherwise nice enough. Heresies had the best "air", Fortes (about 40 years old!) the deepest and tautest bass.

You are right on about Forte 1 bass. I was once bragging about mine to a friend who lives 2k miles away. Well, he came for a visit and handed me a subwoofer obstacle course CD and said, "Prove it!" I immediately began prevaricating about how these are full range, not subs, etc. Then we began to play the CD and instantly our eyes got big and our jaws dropped to the floor. When Julian Hirsch reviewed the F1s back in the '80s he stated that they had lower bass distortion by an order of magnitude than anything they had ever tested. Still not sure how they accomplish that with rather ordinary looking 12" woofers. And yet... my actively multiamped DIY system in my man-loft sounds significantly better than my Fortes in tonality and soundstaging; I think its coherence would blow you away! If I ever get around to actively multiamping my Fortes I'll have to post a video about the result, as I've never heard of anyone doing it. They're probably too busy enjoying the music.😁

I have only owned the .7s, but I suspect that the point I want to make applies to all Magnepans. I tried the .7s with a Schiit Freya Plus (which has a lot of gain for a pre) and Vidar 1. The bass was anemic and unsatisfying. I inserted a cheapish (under $700) Buckeye Hypex amp (500w). The difference was astonishing. In my medium sized room, the .7s had enough bass that I completely abandoned the idea of adding a sub. The only complaint I had, which may be DAC related (Schiit bifrost 2/64) was that there was a significant deficiency in the highs. It was really weird... everything else was outstanding and the mids and separation was better than I've ever heard. The high frequencies in the percussion were lacking and I never tried a different DAC. It was a very non fatiguing sound which some people may prefer, especially for harsher recordings like some classic rock that can sound thin and bright. Still, for well recorded music, I was missing those highs. If that issue was DAC related, then the Hypex/Purifi amps (450 + watts) are my first recommendation to anyone with Maggies... before you spend a bunch of money on subs and active crossovers. I wonder if the Purifi amp would have solved the issue with the highs... I also wonder if the newer Hypex amps with higher current might sound even better. Given that Magnepan stresses the importance of current, that is likely to be the case.

Room size, shape, flooring, solid/hollow walls/ceilings and items/furniture, all make a difference in sound quality. Remember that everyone has a different hearing range, hence the like or dislike for speaker sound quality. Currently, I've read that Magnapan has another company experimenting with extermal subwoofers, crossover units, for the line of speakers. So far incredible results, but at a much higher price of course.

The Forte 1's were my first high end speaker that I bought about 2 years ago, in superb condition. I paired them with the GetDynaco PAS3 and ST-35 based on Dr D's review and I think its one of the best audio purchases I have made. Recently I resealed the cabinets, lined the interior walls with no res foam and also lined the horns with a layer of adhesive dampening material. I removed the stock crossovers and put quality speaker connectors in place and then installed the Crites gold crossovers on the internal angled cross brace. They just sound spectacular, the bass and overall sound is much tighter (not "boomy") and the midrange and soundstage is magnificent. I am currently trying the Crites replacement tweeters but would have to AB them in separate speakers with the stock ones to be able to comment on the difference. As they are, they sound smooth and effortless; one of my reference tracks is by Billie Eilish and her voice and high level of production are such a treat with these speakers. They are never fatiguing. I plan to put remove the stock bases and place them on slightly angled stands to open up the vertical listening axis. One of the things which is amazing is how much fidelity is transmitted around corners and throughout my open floorplan listening area, they still sound remarkably good even well outside the listening sweet spot. Other speakers are MUCH more localized to their preferred performance "zone". Only other upcoming improvement is to experiment with some ALK crossovers that I am building from scratch since they are no longer sold. This Dynaco Klipsch pairing is my "forever" vintage design!

To my ears the 1.7i was substantially better sounding to the LRS. You pay three times the price and I promise you get your money's worth. Get the 1.7i. Even in a smaller room they sound great. Put them in too big of a room and they get lost. A typical sized living room is perfect. You will get depth and width. I would suggest a 400 watt amplifier per channel for a larger room. The amp requirement is a bit over blown in my opinion.

I see you have 2 sets of speakers. do you just switch out sometimes? or just do'n't use the box speakers any more? I ask because I am buying this Sub after watching this video ( I wondered if one was enough) I have Sonus Faber Lumia 2's and wanted just a tiny bit more low end extension sometimes. But I also want a pair of Maggies the LRS+ as you have,. I am wondering if I would even bother switching back and forth of if one pair would just collect dust. odd question, I know.
Hi, I often rotate speakers for different sound presentations. I would highly recommend this sub for your Faber's. Perfect compliment to them and it integrates seamlessly. If you get the LRS Plus, you are going to be in for a shock. The soundstage is incredible and they sound incredible.
@@drde4010 Got my T-Zero! Amazing little sub. wow! love it. thanks for the answer.
Ob at its best,
Wish you could have compared it to schiits mono block trs
I just noticed that Marty McFly is plugging into a Gibson GA5-T Skylark, which is a 15 watt guitar amp. Clearly it's not really going to blow anyone away.
Great video. Would’ve loved to see Uma’s Teac in Pulp Fiction included.
This was excellent, gave me a great feeling and laughed my ass off…being 70 I can definitely relate…I hope you never quit making KZreads….
