RE: 'Where's the beef?' - Magnepan must've added steroids to the 3.7i.

Needless to say the Four panels of the Tymp IV-A puts any (?) 3.X to shame!
(?)I've not heard a 3.7i, but it can't provide an equal match for the four Tymp IV-A Bass panels. (Regardless of any and all other considerations, just accept it man. My listening room is somewhat similar to yours, 20' X 20' but with the usual 8-9 ft ceilings. Your 3.7i faces even a greater challenge in your much larger listening room having greater total volume.)

And that's indeed the case even if one isn't using the world's greatest amplifiers. (I'm bi-amping a Tymp IV-A using two Bryston 7BST monoblocks for the Bass and a Bryston 4BSST for the T/M. Right now I'm using a Marchand XM44-2 as my CO, other times I use Magnepan's passive XO-1, said to be of advantage because involves the least amount of signal processing. At times I concur with that. Cross-over points and filters are exactly as per instructions in the IV-A user's manual.)
