Y'know, it's a funny thing. I've never felt that I lacked for bass. The speakers are in pretty large space. The room is about 16x30 ft with tube traps in the corners. One speaker is about 5 feet from the side wall while the other is roughly 20 ft from the side wall. Both are about 3" from the rear wall. Maybe this setup is conducive to good bass.
In any case I'm still very much on the fence. The 3.7i's would set me back about $6k. I suspect that the 3.7i's would be an improvement, though I doubt it would dramatic. As it is the IIIa's sound damn good and they're factory renewed, hence better now than they were to begin with. Moreover, there are certainly other upgrades that might have a bigger impact, though at the moment I'm not sure what they'd be. Maybe better streamer?
So, I'm going to try to find a dealer someplace to give the 3.7i's a listen. This will doubtless be a long and drawn out process. Thanks for the remarks.
