Got lucky!
Had wanted to order the LRS past month but not feelin’ good about the wait times. Happy for Magnepan though. Yesterday on a hunch I called Shelley’s Stereo (Woodland Hills) right before my lunch break to inquire. A customer purchased the little ones a few days back but returned them for the .7’s.
Next moment, I cancelled everything including lunch, I was starving! But I immediately drove to the dealer in all kinds of L.A. traffic and made the purchase. Once home, at first audition I was hooked! Started off listening to Billie Holiday, Astrud Gilberto & Nancy Wilson. Their vocals were both floating and deliciously haunting.
Until the rain stops late next week, I’m running the little ones through my monster receiver - 1978 Sansui G-22000 @ 16 ohms, no sweat! Next week I’ll hook up my Shindo Lab monaural amps & Shindo Lab pre for some tube magic, also @ 16 ohms.
