Will 170 watts @ 4 ohms be enough for a 15 x 17 feet room?
It should on paper, for the LRS model. Ideally the current rating should double when going from 8 to 4 ohms. I drove the MC1's with an Arcam 80 wpc and it used to crap out. These panels really like power. @drkrack is using a crown xls 2502 (775 watts) and @sound_cycle is using two Schiit Vidar (200watts X4 ohms) as monoblocks.
So nobody wants to sell the LRS speakers as they seem to be only for the US and the dealers hardly make much money on them... Unless we upgrade to the .7 and above, don't think anybody will get into the hassle of sending speakers... Please PM me to confirm...

one way around this is top ask the US dealer to simply sell to you ( the group ) and you may arrange your freight forwarder to pick up from the dealers..and send to you.
Note - I am not in the group buy.

I would think that even an offer in the INR 80-90K range can be considered 'reasonable'
That is exactly what I have mentioned in my emails.. It seems the LRS is only for the US market as a feeder to the higher models since the company is sure that people will upgrade after listening to the Maggie sound... Anyways, looking at other dealers as well although it's the cheapest in the US...
Raghu, I had contacted Wendell Diller of Magnepan a couple of times in the last 3 years and both times he asked me to go through Audiovision.. I stated my concern about zero support and lack of audition but he expressed his regret... So Magnepan wont sell directly.. Will have to go through some dealer else wait for an FTA between India and US and hope speakers are part of the products with zero duty...@panditji
LRS is also sold by Magnepan directly too in US.
This may be the reason why local US dealers are not warming up to it.
Wonder if they will do a bulk sell directly overseas.
Maybe not.
Cheers,
