RE: a crack in the magnepan 3.7 -) 3.7i upgrade mystery?

"One other observation as an owner of a 3.7i and an older set of IIIa's. Note in the picture how the speaker leans backward awkwardly. Mine do this too unless I take measures to prop them upright. The IIIa's on the other hand stand up perfectly straight after a quarter century, even in deep carpeting. I prefer the sound of the new speaker perfectly upright (and this raises image height). I assume it is a design defect of the feet with the heavier crossover built into the speakers. This may explain why the newest 3.7i's now come with the round 20.7 feet"

"I will say that the newest model is extremely laid back in upper midrange, with a clear presence dip when placed 8 to 10 feet from the FW. To correct this, I need to get them closer to the FW than I prefer."

Thanks Swamis Cat, very interesting.
