Magnepan 3.6 or 3.7 - The smart choice?


Hypothetical: If offered in excellent-mint shape used MG 3.6's for $2000 or MG 3.7's for the price of $4000 - yes $4000 not $5500-5900 - what would you do, which is the smart choice? (if the 3.7's were over $5k i wouldn't ask this.)

i'd opt for the 3.6--it's a helluva speaker at a great price. i personally didn't hear a huge difference between 3.6/3.7, though more informed folks advise that the 3.7 is better; it all comes down to how much more you'd spend for what measure of sonic improvement.
reading through the above responses, i'm prepared to change my earlier vote and make it unanimous--go with the 3.7s. if you're as obsessive as the rest of us, it's worth the extra bucks to get the new-and-improved model (although, by the same logic, you should step up to the $14k 20.7s, which are even better). seriously, years ago i cheaped out and bought a car without the leather seats and upgraded stereo and spent the next five years wallowing in regret and self-loathing.
