Hello, new to the site so first off thank you to all that participate in this thread.

I just purchased a pair of Magnepan LRS speakers. Long wait about 12 weeks, In the mean time I am thinking about amplification, seems to be a common questions with these speakers.
Currently I have the following:

Iotavx SA3 and Iotavx PA3 Bridged

Continuous power (load-dependent):
45W (8O, 2 channels), 100W (8O, 1 channel bridged),
90W (4O, 2 channels), 180W (4O, 1 channel bridged),
Power supply: 115VAC or 230VAC, @ 50 / 60Hz

Looking at:
Schiit Vidar amplifier
Hegel H70 Integrated
Odyssey Cyclops Integrated

Any suggestions or input is appreciated

Mcintos amps would work very well. I use them with my 30.7s and there’s nothing else I would rather own.
