great review, I wonder what the differences are between the 1.7 and 1.7i?
Follow Ups:
Maybe $150.00?
Will we ever find out what the actual (physical) difference is?
It can only be one of two things, shirley?
* an XO component value change
* or something done to one of the drivers - something like, say, the paper strip which is glued onto the metal pole-piece on T-IVa mid drivers.

looser & different tensioning. That's what I think it is. My hypothesis: there was a loss in bass performance from the wire bass panels (which can be doubled and are heavier, aka lower resonance freq) to the first QR woofer generation, which was alleviated with the 'i'. The 0.7 and 20.7 already have the change from the get go.

yeah I kinda remember that offer (is it still on the books?) I think the upgrade was what- $150 plus shipping? That led many to speculate a simple 'razoring' type doodad. Anything above that would certainly push it over the $150 threshold (IMHO).You would think after all this time folks would have undressed both models (or sent pics of separate models undressed)to compare.

Perhaps Magnepan removed any wrinkles. ;-)
