I think that the 3.6's are a major step-up over both 1 series. I've never understood why J Valin hears a discontinuity issue with the 3.6's; I've never heard it... I think that the Magnepan 3.6 is one of the finest speakers I've ever heard at any price... However, I have also heard the new 3.7's (only under show conditions) and my initial impressions are that they are even better than the 3.6.
