The one thing I can tell you is that my 3.6Rs work well, surprisingly well, in a 14' x 13' room. And as you probably know, the true ribbon tweeter is marvelous.

Follow Ups:
The older 3 series 6 ft Magnepans all have lower bass response than the 3.7i ( that only goes down to 40 hz) and can not be biamped.
I own the 3.6 in my main system and IIIas in my home theater and they sound great.
Mine are biamped with a hybrid passive line-level/active crossover and is a significant improvement, IMO.

My first Maggie was the SMGb when my father bought them new in 1993 I think. When they delaminated he "upgraded" to the original MG1. His high frequency hearing is compromised so to him it porbably was an upgrade just for the larger bass panel.
My first true ribbon was a used pair of MGIIIa and it just blew away anything I had ever heard... with the exception of a memory from 1998 when my father brought me to the hifi store to hear a pair of Martin Logan ReQuest powered by Pass Labs monos and a Conrad Johnson pre. Hence my obsession with Maggies and ML, and thus my current dilemma.
On a semi-related note, I gave the MGIIIa to my father to replace his MGI when I found the Tympani IVa. I originally bought the Tympani as a father's day present, to which his response was "I think I'd rather stay married".
Other than that, he was a good one
