Before review that guy, Amir make a post on ASR “How to measure panel speaker”? He basically don’t know how to measure panel speaker, it is totally different world compared to box speaker.
Amir from ASR is just software engineer for Miscrosoft, who thinks that he can measure everything in audio.
This is simple not relevant, especially for panel speakers!

In typical ASR fashion, testing numbers not only trump all other things (including sound), their test was done with a woefully underpowered receiver. Ignoring the testing methods of ALL other reviewers, they DON’T give them the high current that Maggies have always demanded. This is like taking an Olympic sprinter, dressing him in a tuxedo with slick-bottomed dress shoes, putting him on a diet of bread and water, then criticizing him for not taking gold at the Olympics. It’s ridiculous. If EVERY other TRULY REPUTABLE reviewer gives a radically different opinion than you, then you need to check your testing methods, then doing an “all things equal” test. Eating a raw steak with a quart of ketchup on it, you’re not going to get anything worthwhile from eating it, let alone enjoying it. FIRST COOK IT, give it a dash of salt and pepper, then serve it. Eating raw steak covered with ketchup is ALWAYS going to be disappointing. Don’t blame the meat for your insipid methods and conclusions.

Try doing what is SUPPOSED to be done with front end requirements, then give speakers a fair test.

When you think that everyone on earth is crazy, and that you’re the only sane one alive… that’s a red flag that maybe YOU are the crazy one.

Maggies of ANY ilk being called “disappointing”…is a sure sign of a fault with your testing regimen.

Good review. But, I do recommend it.

Is that your own review Gordan?

If I could control what you listen to, e.g. in an audio show or dealer room, I could convince you it is much better speaker than it is. The best way I can explain this is that the designers solved 30% of the physics of building a speaker, and threw you in there to solve the rest! You take on the job of spending what must be a lifetime messing with location, tilt, EQ, etc. to get sound that is good for more than a few select tracks.

I am confident a better job can be done than what we see in LRS. Maybe making the panels smaller causes the beaming and interference patterns worse. I don’t know. What I do know that this is not a product finished and fit for use by a consumer.

I wonder how much simulation and in field analysis was performed as I have shown here. Doesn’t seem like much was done to find and remove issues with this speaker.

Needless to say, I can’t recommend the Magnepan LRS.”

Otherwise, “most” of what you say is true.
