I am a Maggie owner (past,present, future). If you go to the Magnepan website and look at the 3.7i section the second picture down shows a system with a pair of Red 3.7i ; that IS my system. The 3.7i are the third pair of Maggies I have owned through the years. They started life as 3.7 and were factory upgraded last yeat to 3.7i . I have also owned at least 30 pair of other speakers as my mains since I started 40 years ago including Infinity IRS, Carver Amazing and Martin Logan Summit plus many big name Dynamic Speakers ranging from AR's, Klipsch, Ohm, B&W etc, etc, etc. and seem to gravitate back to the Maggies each time. The Maggie's ribbons create an almost ethereal reality to vocals and strings that I find compelling. With the right power ( I use an Indy labs Aragon 8008 at 400 wpc) they can light up a room and produce excellent dynamics as well as, or sometimes better than many other speakers of similar efficiency. I have a small sub a Definitive Technologies 4004 to help the very lowest frequency range (below 40hz) the speed and tightness of the sealed passive ported Deftech matches well with the Maggies and was easy to integrate.
My only negative I can mention is the need to spend some time finding the ideal placement which is not necessarily more difficult than many other speakers, just different. In the future I have my eyes on 20.7i but I don't have a compelling need to change since I find the 3.7i to be about as good as it gets.
