I've never heard the Tympani IV-A, so there's no reference point. The 3.7i doesn't sound wimpy to my ears in the system I've set-up, but they probably would sound thinner without the Hsu Research subwoofer. I consider that lower octave underpinning integral to listening pleasure. No amount of amplification, bi-amping and room treatments can make Maggies go lower than their design parameters.
Of course, your experience may be entirely different. I'm sure that our listening rooms are different and there's no accounting for individual hearing (your hearing may be far better than mine).
