Biamping: Emotiva, W4S, Parasound or ..?
Thanks 4est. It looks as if you are the only person with any advice to offer!

Thanks, that's very helpful. Now I've grabbed the Marchand, I am in the process of trying to figure out what amps to use & in what configuration. Tubes on the mids/highs are tempting sound-wise but most are fairly low on watts ...

I did but wasn't clear what you were using to drive your 3.5s vs your 20.1s ...

Thanks, I don't have the manual! Would you mind sharing what you are using for amplification? I am exploring my options for optimal biamping possibilities: watts/channel, tube vs SS, etc. I'd be interested in what worked for you.

Gmorris, Thanks - but are you sure about the high pass values? I was under the impression the correct values are:106Hz 6dB Low Pass250Hz 18dB High Pass

I know this is a very old thread but I just purchased a Marchand XM-44 for a pair of MG 20.1s & was curious as to what value modules you settled on. 
Magnepan 3.7's versus 20.1's?
Thanks for the input Kirby, Tmsorosk & Gmorris - nice to see this thread get back on track with some actual comparisons! 
Magnepan 3.7's versus 20.1's?
See my earlier post. Seems logical but I've heard it's not imminent... 
Magnepan 3.7's versus 20.1's?
Thanks Macdad, that's what I'm thinking but without the ability to compare, it's hard to be sure. 
Magnepan 3.7's versus 20.1's?
No, not at all. I'm interested in a comparative assessment. I need to make a decision & I am not in a position to compare them personally. What I am trying to figure out is if the 3.7s are truly so good as to be very close to the 20.1s or whet... 
Magnepan 3.7's versus 20.1's?
Thanks Podeschi. FWIW, & contrary to expectations, I've heard there isn't likely to be a 20.1 update in the near future - in that significant improvements (Magnepan's criteria for producing a new model) would be difficult to achieve. Of course... 
Magnepan 3.7's versus 20.1's?
Thanks for your input folks. I have sufficent amplification & a suitable sized room - & was leaning towards purchasing a pair of 20.1s. I just haven't had the chance to compare them to the 3.7s & wondered whether the 3.7s were as close... 
Why are Pass such a good match with Maggies?
As they also seem to with Parasound & Bryston - albeit for a lot smaller price tag. 
Diffusers for magnepan speakers
Coming late to this thread but struggling with the same issues - would love to see you post your solutions Kevinzoe! 
Tube Pre to mate with Parasound JC-1s & Maggies?
Again, many thanks for the helpful input given above. I have questions about two tube preamps not so far mentioned - the Aesthetix Calypso & the Mysteré ca 21. Can anyone give input about how either might fit into my set up? Thanks!
