Magnepan 3.7's versus 20.1's?

Thanks Podeschi. FWIW, & contrary to expectations, I've heard there isn't likely to be a 20.1 update in the near future - in that significant improvements (Magnepan's criteria for producing a new model) would be difficult to achieve. Of course, that's just what I was told ...

Interesting.

Again, hoping my post doesn't take anything away from the 20.1s. They are superb with stellar amplification and a large room where they can breathe and listening chair is far enough back to enjoy the enormous sound/stage they offer. Best most articulate dynamics and bass I have heard.

No, not at all. I'm interested in a comparative assessment. I need to make a decision & I am not in a position to compare them personally. What I am trying to figure out is if the 3.7s are truly so good as to be very close to the 20.1s or whether that's maybe a little bit of overstatement generated by the excitment over a very good new speaker ...

it's good, but you hit the nail on the head with this assesment

Thanks Macdad, that's what I'm thinking but without the ability to compare, it's hard to be sure.
