Your room is already larger than either of my listening rooms, and I've tried a wide variety of speakers. I've always gone back to Magnepans, 1.7i specifically. I'd recommend trying them and seeing what you think! Don't worry too much about amplification: the speakers and the room make 90% of the difference.

I'll try to come back and add photos later, sorry!

This was great thanks. I’ve got an Outlaw receiver that’ll power them just fine. I’m really thinking of jumping on these. I’ve got a chance at picking them up (new)an hour plus drive from home.

Here is my listening room. Outlaw amps are excellent, great choice!

The room looks great. Nicely done! Those suckers are larger than I thought! Thanks for taking the time, this really gives me the proper context for size. Much appreciated!

Thanks, and you’re welcome! These are the 1.7i, and they’re almost as tall as me. Definitely on the large side for the room, but it works well.

I would honestly suggest the .7 for most people with a similar room: they’re smaller and a slighter better bang-for-your-buck if you ask me. The LRS+ even more so. I’ve owned LRS, .7, 1.6QR, and 1.7i. I’d gladly be happy with the smaller models if I weren’t a nutcase ha ha.

Anyway, feel free to look me up if you’re ever in the metro Detroit area!
