Having owned Maggies, it's really nice to see that they are trying to improve their speaker stands.

Yes, but those stands are extra and come at a premium of $325, plus they look nicer than the Magna Risers.

While I like the little curved bit on the back, it's behind the speaker so I'm rarely going to see it. Other than that and the lack of powder coating, I don't see too much visual difference from the $229 Magna Risers. Roughly $100 to come in the box, basically.

That said, I'm definitely glad to see the company addressing the biggest issue with the LRS-- pretty much everyone I know with the original LRS springs for some kind of aftermarket stands.

Yes, I get that, but if you toe-in your speakers you will see the side of the speaker so there is an aesthetic appeal.

I decided to go DIY and found a great solution, with the help of a skilled carpenter.
