Announcing the 3.7i

An improved 3.7 may come as a surprise given that the 3.6 had a 12-year run. But, this is unusual in other ways.

The changes did not require retooling or significant cost increases. It did not warrant waiting for a major product change as a 3.8. So, we decided to pass it on now.

Yes, it is unusual, and it is the first time in Magnepan's history that a speaker can be upgraded at the factory at a reasonable cost (details to follow).

But, what is not unusual--- we don't hype new models. Yes, it sounds better, but we leave that to you to describe.

Thanks for sneak peak. Can't wait to hear more! Is Magnepan showing the 3.7i at CES?

Yes.

AFAIK, Mr.Diller is not a member of AA.

More details on the 3.7i should be released at CES this week.

I emailed him so we'll see if he responds.

Your original post appeared to come directly from Wendell, as if you were Wendell so to speak.

Sorry for the confusion.

Sounds great but I wouldn't want to ship my 3.7’s back to the factory. When my 1.7’s came a big chunk was ripped off the box. The speaker were OK inside but it makes me nervous. I could put them on a palette but it would be very large. Michigan isn't that far from Minnesota, maybe I need to plan a summer vacation.
