Stu I was always curious to hear that set up. A few years ago our local audio club had a demo by a member who copied that system. But I was out of town and missed it. :^(
However I recall HP raving about a "modest" system he put together with MG 3.X, the Sunfire subwoofer, and a c-j SS amp. So he must have liked at least one model of the 3 series.

Well there's been a pair for sale for sometime on eBay or if you live near Clarksville, TN. Perhaps you could drive by and have a listen!
I have the issue of TAS where HP thought very highly of the 3.6's "combined" with 2 Sunfire Signature Subs. Compared it to the Pipedream whatevers. Been a long while since I read it but I don't remember anything negative he said about them.
He also gave a very positive review of the 3.7's

It was the 3.3 and 3.5 that had deep dips in the freq response. It is still beyond me what Magnepan were trying to do.
I also remember HP's Tympani + CLS combo that followed. That and the Tympani QRS led me to get a Tympani IV and then to mod it with better mids as that was always HPs pet peeve with them. Well, that and the fact that no amp that could power the bass panels could sound good driving the rest of the speaker.
