Magnepan 3.7i VS 2.7X

@secretguy You might think this is a joke but I burned out the brilliance control of my Sound Labs speakers and I mean smoke, stench the works. A very power amp like a JC 1+ could easily melt the insulation off cheap high gauge speaker wire. I am not sure if it could do it on a 4 ohm loudspeaker. The Sound Labs approach 1 ohm at 20 kHz resulting in extremely high current. 

I might also add that the 3.7i is a superior speaker in every way.

Thank you very much for the additional information (and for staying on topic), it was very helpful. Enjoy your time with family, no music can compete with the sound of loved ones.

Yes. I do think it's a joke.

I did not care for the sound of the 3.7i in my room.  The 2.7 uses a shorter ribbon that crosses over at a lower frequency than the full size ribbon in the 3.7i. More true ribbon is a good thing to me. the larger panel in the 3.7 will give more bass, but I would be using subwoofers with either speaker. It is the same height at the 3.7 which is the big difference from the 1.7i.
