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

Just adding to the conversation...

Do not underestimate the value of adding DWMs to a three series. This increases the bass area of the speaker to something slightly larger than a 20.7 (though not tuned to go as low). It also gains the huge advantage of allowing you to tailor and smooth the bass via placement. With DWM's and a dedicated room, bass bumps and dips are a choice, not a necessity.

I substantially prefer the sound of my 3.7i (or of my old IIIa's) with the DWM in most locations (though not all, in a few room locations-- such as 11 feet out Limage -- it becomes too bass rich). It is clearly NOT in any way a sub. It gives the speakers more bass volume giving drums and bass guitar substantially more weight and authority. It works from about 80 hz to 300 hz).

I can't fit a 20 series in my room, and probably couldn't afford a new one anyways. Adding a DWM to my threes gives me all the bass I need above forty hz though (above 25 hz with the bass awesome IIIa's).

YMMV.
