"The Maggies present a huge diffusive image, stunning high end detail, boomy bass, don't play loud, difficult to drive" The bass of the 3.7 is anything but boomy.
"If the PSB presents a small image that's not likely to be my best choice either."
PSB Synch throws a wide soundstage, deep 3d image making the speakers disappear. The mids are very articulate, however the metal tweeter can sound bright and forward if not well matched with rest of the components. My 2 cents.
Maggies are hard to drive? They're driving 20.7's with a 125watt at the Magnepan factory. As to to not playing loud, you can sit in my room and I'll bet you can't hear the person yelling at the other end of the couch.
I hope to see additional input as well. I'm not as able to spend large amounts of cash on audio stuff as I once was so it's important I do my best to make a wise choice.
