Magnepan 1.7i vs. 3.6


Has anyone heard 1.7i and 3.6 side by side? I'm considering to change from 1.7i to 3.6.

Seller ask 2460€ for 3.6s. My 1.7is are one year old and they cost 3450€ in Finland. So i think that i don ’t have pay any euros if i’m gonna sell my 1.7is.

My 2013 1.7s are so satisfying, and have none of the disadvantage commonly attributed to Magnepans, I would not replace them unless it was for 3.7's or 20.7's.

I play all kinds of music through them to great satisfaction--Baroque, large scale 20th century orchestral works (The Planets, Stravinsky, Ravel, etc.) big band (Basie, Buddy Rich, Quincy Jones, etc.) classic pop vocalists (Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Sarah Vaughan), plus classic Rock (Beatles, Beach Boys, Police, The Cars, Elvis, Rod Stewart... Without exception, the 1.7s (with some help from some small subwoofers) deliver great clarity, musicality, room-filling energy and soundstage, truth-to-timbre and tonal balance, and far more dynamic range than is typically associated with pre-*.7 Magnepan speakers. I have Basie and Rimsky-Korsakov LPs that are so dynamic they will (figuratively) knock you around the room.

I bought them with I turned 60. They are my last set of speakers.

How about the sweet spot of the 1.7i? It’s supposed to be larger with the tweeters out.
