Vandersteen Treo CT vs Mag 3.7i speakers


I've listened to both at my local dealer.  I have sufficient space for either one in my living room (16x21).  If you have some ideas/a clear opinion on which one to purchase I would very much appreciate hearing from you..thanks.

I have the Maggie 1.7s. I have a fairly large audio room (14' W x 28' L x 10' H) They are about 4' from a treated front wall and am running a ADS-12 sub. So far I am most happy with the 1.7s but then I listen mostly to, light jazz, and contemporary pop or Celtic with good vocals and live acoustic orchestration. I'm considering  moving up to 3.7i  but not sure that my room size warrants the move.
I've long been a Vandi fan and have had the 2c and the 2ci and liked both but, for the style and volume of music I listen to now I truly love the Maggies.
Good luck with your quest...Jim

while the older Maggies did need a bit of volume to become dynamic and break the veil, the new .7 models sound very nice, even at relatively low volume levels. My ears and head no longer handle hours of loud music and I do most of my listening in the evenings at moderate to low volume levels and am not disappointed, at all, with the performance of my 1.7s. for the music that I most listen to. I do have to agree that the Maggies may not be for everyone, or fit in every environment; always best, as with any speaker or equipment, to audition at one's own home listening to one's own music....Jim
