I fully agree with you that Magnepan is just trying to offer their customers the best product and after dealing with them for over 30 years, I am sure that the cost of the upgrade just covers their costs and no profit is being made. However $500 seems to me to be a lot of money for what is probably a marginal improvement. Of course, I am a tightwad and a skeptic and naturally have not compared the 3.7 to the 3.7i. Lack of facts should not be a reason for withholding opinions - it's the basis of political discourse in this country.
My comment was only about the marketing decisions concerning product designation. Unlike a lot audio manufacturers, Magnepan is slow to change designations and so bringing out a 3.8 model after only about 2 years would probably upset their fan base.
