Magnepan 3.7's versus 20.1's?

I know what you mean about the wait. As I recall, the 1.7's were delayed for a while because their milling machine went down. The 3.7's if I remember correctly started shipping not long after their introduction at CES. The Mini Maggies took two years, but that was because they had to catch up on the .7's first. I'm thinking that a call to the factory makes sense, before everyone leaves for the holidays. The may be able to give you an idea of when they'll ship.

Mrscgret,
Something is not adding up here on delivery of your 3.7's. I ordered mine on Nov 7th and took delivery on Dec 9th. They were held up an extra week because they ran out of dark cherry for a week. I'd be demanding some answers from the dealer and placing a call to Magnepan. 3 months is outrageous!

The issue may be the aluminum rails. The wood rails are the same as the 3.6s, but the aluminum sides are new to the 3.7. I got my cherry 3.7s in 3/11 after ordering in 1/11. The dealer did not get his aluminum store demos until late 5/11 due to delays in the aluminum manufacture.

My dealer is pretty upset about this and has called Magnepan. That's where the 2 to 3 more weeks came from. They promised to stay on top of it with repeated calls to them. they are in agreement that this type of wait is rather ridiculous. We're building a speaker here not a house. I don't think I ordered anything too odd for it to be trouble. Mine will be black oak with gray panels. My next step is to start asking for compensation for the extra long wait.

Ok, cancel the last rave. I just got the call. The 3.7's have landed!! I should have them today or tomorrow. Whew.
