Nitrous Oxides and Some Headers for Your Maggies ! Magnepan LRS ribbon speakers are both interesting and have impressive-sounding qualities, in the right conditions. After spending time with them it is easy to see why the company’s products have the following and regard that they do. For myself, I would not be a suitable candidate for the LRS simply due to their inherent lack of ability in the bottom octaves. The addition of the VPE Electrodynamics Little Dipole Woofer Model 1 and Magna Riser Airborne stands completely changes the equation, however. I would consider them almost mandatory additions to the purchase of a pair of LRS if moving to larger Maggies is not an option. If you have the time and patience required to get the setup just right, you will be rewarded with an immersive and effortless sound that will have people doing double-takes when they see the thinness of the LRS panels. If you just don’t care for bass, or you just want to build the system incrementally, the Magna Riser Airborne stands are an excellent and recommended addition to the panels alone.  Personally, the overall, souped-up results are so transformative, that once you’ve heard the LRS panels and LDW 1 subwoofers together and working properly, I defy anyone to go back to the panels alone. They’re like Nitrous Oxide and some headers for your Maggies!”
