As good or better than Magnepan 3.7i

First of all, I do really enjoy the 3.7i, but at some point I'm going to need to downsize and I'm looking for suggestions of speakers with equivalent or better sound. 
If they aren't full range, that's ok as I have a pair of SVS SB-3000 subs. 
What the maggies could do better are better dynamics, bass weight and so forth (little better on rock and big classical). 
The room is a dedicated listening room in the basement 26X13X7. 
Budget is in the same range as the 3.7i, 
Thanks

My post of 08:44 reads, "Since you like planners, could you stretch to Quad 2912?"

DAMN that autocorrect. Should read, "Since you like planars, ... Quad 2912."

You might like "Pure Audio Project" open baffle speakers because you can customize them in many ways!

Well I just put my newly rebuilt Quad 63s away and am going to sell. So I am done with any dipole design and the difficulties that arise with proper placement. Now dynamic open baffle are a bit easier to place, but still am not a huge fan.

Your Maggies are wonderful speakers!

Why don't you wait until you have to downsize and see if they will still work?
