Tiny monitors never did anything for me. Seating perspective is out in the lobby.

I agree ,,,,, I would much rather have your huge Sound Labs Electrosatics also ..... its no contest

  as to apparent image size of smaller Maggie vs tiny box is different.
  
  Had both.
  - its not even close,,,,,,, - trioderob 11:36:49 08/12/24 (13)
    the Focals absolutely kick the Maggies to the curb ,,,,, and your assertion about the sound stage being back of the hall is nonsense ,,,, its totally dependent on the recording
    
    but just to be clear ..... you never actually heard the speakers I am talking about -,,,,, have you ?
    
    I have noticed that you are quite the naysayer by the way

      I owned Polk LSi7s with nearly identical driver and cabinet size - albeit heavier.
      
      I've been a dipole Maggie enthusiast since I first heard them in 1974. Bought my first pair a year later. Use MC1s in the HT today.

        the Polk's suck in comparison to the Focals ,,,,, no wonder you do not like mini-monitors - LOL

        they are clean down to 45 hz which is more than the LRS
        
        you can poo - poo all you want wont make the LRS better than the Focal
        
        Are you using the Almarro amp with the LRS? -nt - E-Stat 13:34:22 08/12/24 (5)

        No ,,,,, sold it a while back .... dont think that combo would be ideal as its was a very small Japanese integrated tube amp .... more suited to something like a Lowther full range driver in a voight tube
        
        So what is the other variable - E-Stat 16:32:15 08/12/24 (3)

        the required component that has a distinct effect on overall sound quality!
        
        The actives use small (25W/35W) Class D amps. What were you using?

      just to be clear ,,,,,, the BIG MAGGIES do have a huge sound stage - I am talking about the little LRS
      this huge sound stage works very well for some music but is unrealistic for other such as a solo female vocalist

        I have three flavors of speakers to choose from (two are boxes with cones) and I think the LRS are the best ones for solo vocals. They are not the best for stadium rock.

        if you think the LRS vocals are good ...... - trioderob 12:07:55 08/12/24 (0)

        you should hear the Focals ......and just to be clear I was using a Crown reel to reel player with pristine 50s jazz 7 and a half reels as a front end with the LRS
        
        Only so much can be said ..... its a hobby of listening
