Has anyone auditioned the 3.7's against the 1.7''s side by side?

i am interested in your comparisons - thx.

The pic shows where they would go - on either side of the TV just like the 1.5QRs. I asked Wendell if the internal design differences were the reason the 3.7 was acoustically smaller than the 1.7 and he said yes. The stmt may also be on their web site.
