The best listening position is 1/3 the width of the room. The LRS are 40" from the wall, my chair is normally 2' from the rear wall, best sound is moving out to 40". The LRS are positioned about 4'6" apart.
There is no "standing" wave for the bass. Bass is pretty much the same though out the...
I've been driving my MG LRS and 0.7 with ClassDaudio SMA ($650, 125@8ohm, 250@4ohm) for over year now. I also have an Anthem MCA 225 ($1800, 225@8ohms,400@4ohm,600@2ohms). I use Anthem MCA 30 preamps driving them ($200-300 used).
For the MG 0.7 speakers, in a home theater setup, the Anthem...
I have a upstairs room with 7' ceiling, 11' width, and 30' length. To insulate the ceiling, I had the existing drywall-fiberglass insulation removed, and had the roof rafters spray foamed with 5" of foam. New drywall, lots of vacuuming, and paint and now it's a cozy reading room and bedroom...

I still don't really see your interest in tape.
I've been taping since 1972, on reel to reel, simply to have "playlists" I could listen to. Mostly compilations of various songs, or sometime several complete albums which I could then listen to without playing dozens of records. Also, once I had...
Or you could do something completely different....an ELP LT-100STD Laser Turntable with phono level output.
There's a very interesting review at https://conradjohnsonowners.com/viewtopic.php?t=1201 (ELP Laser Turntable Review, Sep 23, 2017). Yes, lasers scan the groove to product the audio...
I've owned a pair of LRS for over a year. The first minute I listened to them I decided I needed to re-listen to all my music. I certainly wouldn't use them in a large room (as shown in the positive-feedback review), or close to the rear wall. I haven't blown a fuse yet and they go quite...
