Actually, it's been 12 years since I heard the 1.7 but I listen to 3.7 every day. The 2.7 has the 40" ribbon and a bigger panel so it will surpass the 1.7 ... but not likely to approach the 3.7.

How did it sound? I would say nothing jumped out at me. It sounded good.

I really wanted to hear a comparison to the X but the X was in the truck when I visited.

Well that's frustrating.

  The Listening Room is less than 2hrs from me ... so sometime in January I'm going to get a proper demo and report back.

    Be curious if Magnepan has them measuring differently in areas of sensitivity or frequency response. The X version that is.

      I think we would all be surprised at how much testing Magnepan has NOT done on these speakers. The market for certain "upgrades" has nothing to do with quantitative data.

        Well I know historically Magnepan has not done much in the way of measurements and upgrades. However - these measurements literally take their price and push the product into a new category from a pricing perspective. But that's my opinion. I think 20k vs 30k is a large differential and warrants ...- something on paper??
