Magnepan 3.6R vs. 2.7QR

Hi
I am thinking of upgrading my 2.7QR to a pair of 3.6Rs.
Are the sonic benefits of the 3.6Rs worth the close to $2000+ difference between both (used) models?

Has anyone ever compared or owned Magnepans 3.6R vs. 2.7QR side to side?
Thanks

The true ribbon is a great improvement over the QR. More air and extention. Also, the increased planar area also improves dynamics and resolution.

If you upgrade you won't regret it!!!!!!!!!!

Yes do the upgrade! I use to own IIIa's with the true ribbon adn there is no comparison (I owned 1.6's also). The 3.6 is a true upgrade from your or even IIIa,3.3,3.5 which are all similar

Meanwhile, in the other corner, some folk prefer the QR, sonicly as well as financially. Don't go by what any of us say. Go listen to both.
