Magnepan 1.7i vs. 3.6

I've heard 1.7 vs. 3.7i - and they were surprisingly close.

the x.7 speakers have newer better technology and that might give the nod to the 1.7 over a 3.6 ... except for bass response

OTOH if you bi-amp the 3.6 you won't worry about the crossover

Thanks for response. Amp will be Hegel H360.

I bought the H360 Black friday after listening to the new h190 and if the case of the h190 hadn't gotten warm to the touch I was more than satisfied with the sound and it's $1700 less than the H360. Using my Hegel to drive v1 ultima salons and have no regrets in fact the combo is bringing more out of my recordings than I heard before. 

1.7i + DWMs?
