Is Maggie 20.1 still overall better than 3.7?

Well, I listened to both the 3.7i and the 20.1. The larger panel 20.1 still sounded more natural than the 3.7i.

Yes, and the 3.6 is better than the 3.7i IMO.

Warmer midrange, with lower bass response.

Mark Winey squashed the xover to fit inside the speaker.  Stupid move.

Interesting--I like my 3.6R's with the Mye stands, Cardas jumpers and SR Red fuses. I would put them up against stock 3.7i's.  Maybe.....any more opinions on the two?

When the 1.7's came out i owned 1.6's . I bought the 1.7's and listened side by side for three weeks . I returned the 1.7's . The soundstage of the 1.7's seemed recessed comparably . Also the bass seemed  (tighter) but less pronounced than the 1.6 . I couldn't understand how everyone liked the 1.7's better . Oh well ...

I’m surprised how few magnetic-planar lovers (which I am, having bought Tympani I’s back in ’73, and currently owning Tympani IV’s) have heard (or even heard OF) the Eminent Technology LFT-8b. Definitely superior to the 1.6/7 (and perhaps even the 3.7) in a number of ways, for those curious, and only a couple hundred bucks more ($2499).
