Proof that Magnepan's flagship sound doesn't require a flagship price.
Jonathan Valin of The Absolute Sound called it "another slam-dunk POY (Product of the Year) nominee" and a best buy.

The original LRS turned heads as an unusually capable entry-level Maggie — the LRS+ takes that foundation and pushes it further, refining the design without losing what made the original such a compelling starting point into planar sound. It's a 2-way quasi-ribbon, dipole floorstander built for modest-sized rooms, proving that Magnepan's core technology doesn't need a six-and-a-half-foot panel to be genuinely compelling.
Like every Magneplanar, it rewards a real amplifier and some patience with setup — this isn't a speaker you casually plug into whatever's lying around — but reviewers who've put in that effort consistently rank it among the best values in the entire high-end speaker market, not just Magnepan's own lineup. It's proof that the same boxless openness, speed, and imaging that define the flagship models are present here too, just scaled to a friendlier size and price.
If you've wanted to hear what real planar sound is about without a five-figure investment, this is the entry point built for exactly that.
