Offered is „LRS +“ by Magnepan / Magneplanar as new device from the category „Standing Speaker“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 9902124013 ends on 23.10.2026 at 06:23 o'clock.
The €1,690 asking price is ambitious, sitting clearly above the 75th percentile of €1,581 for used Magnepan LRS units in EUR. While new retail in EUR hovers around €1,649, this listing is for a used pair, making the price steeper than fair market value for a comparable used unit.
Despite the premium, the Magnepan LRS remains a standout performer, delivering crisp, full-range quasi-ribbon sound with excellent clarity and low distortion. It excels in small to medium rooms, offering a rare balance of affordability and high-end planar technology. If this listing includes original accessories or is in pristine original-owner condition, it could still represent a worthwhile buy for enthusiasts seeking Magnepan’s signature ribbon sound without the cost of flagship models.

Founded in 1969 in White Bear Lake, Minnesota, by engineer Jim Winey, Magnepan emerged from his dissatisfaction with electrostatic speakers during his time at 3M. Seeking a superior alternative, Winey invented the Magneplanar—a thin-film magnetic driver that rivaled electrostats without their limitations. Bootstrapped with funds from friends and family, the family-owned company has remained American-made, now led by Winey's son Mark from a 50,000-square-foot facility, upholding over five decades of planar innovation.
Magnepan specializes exclusively in planar magnetic loudspeakers, from compact Mini Maggies to towering flagships like the 3.7i. These full-range or hybrid panels eschew traditional cones for quasi-ribbon and true-ribbon drivers, delivering expansive soundstages and lifelike transients. The lineup avoids amplifiers, turntables, DACs, headphones, or cables, focusing solely on speakers that demand high-current amplification to thrive.
Positioned as a high-end niche leader, Magnepan commands reverence among audiophiles for neutral voicing, room-filling dispersion, and value that outpaces competitors dollar-for-dollar. Handcrafted in the USA with domestic parts—"Made in America. Sold in China"—its panels offer unmatched transparency at premium prices, cementing a legacy as the pinnacle of planar magnetic reproduction for discerning listeners worldwide.
