Magnepan 3.7i VS 2.7X

I have been considering the purchase of a pair of Maggie 3.7i speakers. Has anyone out there had the opportunity to hear the new upgraded $10K Magnepan 2.7X and can tell me how it compares to the $9K Magnepan 3.7i in sound quality? Thanks, and please stay on topic.

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

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.
