Magnepan 3.7

Mn2hif, now you've done it. As much as I've liked the Maggies in the past, that discontinuity you've so aptly described, was my biggest objection to them. Now I just have to go listen to the 3.7's.

Completely agree with Mike's assessment. My ears told me the same thing when comparing 3.7 to 20.1.

Gentlemen, where are you getting to hear/audition the 20.1's vs the new 3.7's? My local dealer has a new pair of 3.7's but no 20's so I can't make that comparison. Is there a dealer in the southeast that has both?

I live about 15 minutes from Gifted Listener in Centreville Va which is outside DC more mid-Atlantic than southeast.
Tom Unger the owner has carried Maggie's for years and as of two weeks ago he had his floor 20.1s still. He had them on sale when I was there and he has the 3.7 and 1.7 with system driven by nice Ayre gear

Tom is a very nice guy and his store is where the 20.7 reviewer bought his 20.1s

Mike

I listened to my brother's 20.1s and then the 1.7 and 3.7s at local Maggie dealer here in Portland. So different electronics, but still fairly easy to discern things like coherence (3.7s win) and dynamics/bass (20.1s win).
