Looks nice, link below.

“the 3.7 is a 3-way, full-range ribbon speaker with a very ‘fast’ quasi-ribbon midrange and true ribbon tweeter.”

"The 3.7 is available in new aluminum trim or our traditional wood trims of oak and cherry. Fabric options are off-white, black and dark gray. Suggested list pricing starts at $5495/pair for aluminum or oak versions, or $5895/pair for the dark cherry versions."

(Is that clarity to which he refers the Brystons, or the Maggies?)

Sounds very interesting.

When will Magnepan update the webpage? The show is over.

Agree with Weseixes that the smaller Maggies are in the sweet spot of the product line. At CES 1.7s sounded remarkably good with Rogue electronics. 3.7s with Bryston at T.H.E. Show were relatively congested and dull. I lean toward blaming the 3.7s, as I've heard Bryston sounding great with Janszen stats. The bargain in planars these days is Kingsound-- which at CES were superlative with VAC.

Agreed with DG, mostly.
As you go up the Magnepan line, you get 'more'. But, the quality that involves you with panels remains constant. You can ALMOST buy them without formal lengthy audition...if you know you like them at all.
Some people simply stop at MMGs and maybe modify them.....wood frames and new crossovers.....
