Magnepan 3.7

The best thing to do is a search on the older model and if you like what you see, then buy one of the many pairs that will be sold for those who have to get the latest edition. The difference between them, for you who may not have heard the earlier model at length, may not be all that meaningful.
The search BTW will reveal all of the issues conerning these speakers. Examples such as how much power you need, i.e. which amps people seem to like, placement, cabling, etc

I am not in the market for a pannel speaker.... I just like reading the news. I have heard the entire magnepan line at length. I like them but could never get over the iffy build quality. Hopfully the "ribbon" helps reduce delaminating issues (more surface area per weight to glue).

With that being said I think the 3.7s have potential

Exactly why I sold my Magnepans and lost interest. They sound incredible, but the delaminination is rediculous. I am well aware how to repair these, but I shouldnt have to. Magnepan needs to find a way to bond to the mylar. I am sure there is a much better way then glue.

I would only buy Magnepan if they could ever fix this. Just my opinion.

I've always like the Magnepan sound, and especially the 3 series, even though it differs quite a bit from what I typically like. The idea of Magnepan going to an all ribbon(?, what the heck is a quasi-ribbon anyway?) seems like a major change and possible advancement for Magnepan. I'm curious.
