Magnepan 3.6 or 3.7 - The smart choice?


Hypothetical: If offered in excellent-mint shape used MG 3.6's for $2000 or MG 3.7's for the price of $4000 - yes $4000 not $5500-5900 - what would you do, which is the smart choice? (if the 3.7's were over $5k i wouldn't ask this.)

i'd opt for the 3.6--it's a helluva speaker at a great price. i personally didn't hear a huge difference between 3.6/3.7, though more informed folks advise that the 3.7 is better; it all comes down to how much more you'd spend for what measure of sonic improvement.
I was offered a good deal on a demo pair of 3.6's and bought the 3.7's for full retail. If you can pick up 3.7's for $4K do it now. Too me, the 3.6's suffered from some of the same limitations as my 1.6QR's. The 3.7's are just way more speaker in some important ways. As you see from Loomisjohnsons post above, many people, whose opinions are just as valuable as my own, just don't hear the same thing I heard. I guess the good news here is you can't go wrong. You are being offered good prices on both speakers.
