What's next for the Magnepan 3.6R


I'm in the market for a new Magnepan 3.6R, however as I was researching this speaker I realized that it has been available for about as long as the 3.5R was, and then the 3.5R turned into the new improved 3.6R. So rather than purchase a new 3.6R I'm wondering if the 3.6R is dued to be replaced sometime this year with a new improved model? Does anybody know anything? Thanks, Uriah

Well Plato and Jtinn I finally gave in and bought the 3.6R's. I put them together and had them running since last Thursday night and they sound wonderful. I have them breaking in on a pair of Denon POA-6600 mono blocks until they reach about 400 to 500 hours when they will then be hooked up to my trusty Classe' CA-400 power amp. Belive it or not they do sound quite good on the Denon's and they do have bass. I am very happy so far and would like to thank both of you for your replies. Take care.
Your absolutely right Mike. Just like the ARC SP-9, I bought the original SP-9 and when ARC came out with the Mk II version I thought the original sounded better, however in Magnepan's case they really did make the 3.6 much better than the old 3.5 So I figured since the 3.6 is out now as long as the 3.5 was I was thinking Magnepan would be soon replacing the 4 or 5 year old 3.6R with a new model. I decided that I didn't care and went ahead for the 3.6 Whatever Magnepan replaces the 3.6 with I will be staying where I am as I am very happy with it's sound and it's not even broken in yet. It's definitely a WOW kind of speaker and I would highly recommend it to anyone in the market for one. From my knowledge of Magnepan, when they make a improvement it usually is an improvement.
