  it's kinda like walking into a barn and finding a '69 Jaguar E type, you KNOW you've found something rare and exquisite but you also know eventually (or perhaps not) there will come a day when work might be needed under the hood.
  
  I'd place MG20 in the same category as used Apogees. They're both large, heavy, and getting up there in age (hey aren't we all?). But just like a fine wine that's been stored and well taken care of, the results can be seductive as well as intoxicating for many, many years.

    The 3.6 Midrange surface area is actually larger than the 20.1 Midrange surface area, and it's Midrange sounds sweeter.

    All the 20 series gives you over the 3 series, is lower bass, and an unrealistic bigger image IMO.

      The bigger image is a result of a cleaner midrange with a lighter driver. It is not an artificial soundstage. It is still slightly off in coherence with the tweeter, in the 20.1 but in the 20.7 it is supposed to have been solved and the speaker plays at one and does not have the occasional spatial anomalies that occurred on the Tympani IV and prior 20.x. models.

      The 20-series has a separate midrange driver with lower moving mass. The midrange driver in the 3-series share its diaphragm with the bass, the midrange is to some degree "poluted" by the bass.

    Poor analogy: a couple of hours after savoring that fine wine the initial 'intoxication' would be over and done with. Intoxication from properly cared for MG20s should last much longer.
