How do the Magnepan 3.6r compare to the new 1.7

Mac,
I have owned the 3.6 for 5 years and sold it to a friend. Have 12's now and will look at getting the 1.7's. Would consider the 3.7's but room size of 13'x28' is too small.

As I stated, some can and others don't experience that, which could also be base on differing equipment. Making an absolute statement about others experience is not cool, lots of 3.6's for sale here over the years for different reasons while others think they are keepers.

Yeah, I once again call Audiophelia BS on the "discontinuity". It's solid, centered, coherent.

Please.....

I like both the 1.7 and the 3.6s. I believe that the 1.7s have this smoothness and coherence that I do not hear with the 3.6s. I got to audition the new 3.7s and I found that same smoothness and cohehrence that I heard with the 1.7s but much better. The 3.7 have much clear midrange than all the previous magnepans along with better frequency extremes than the 1.7 and the 3.6s. For difference in money buy the 3.7s They are a giant killer.

Macdadtexas, Some people are more sensitive to a speaker's coherency than others.
