I never found it underwhelming. It was more on the natural side than on the overly impressive side.
You have got it... that what i here on most of the foil type maggys an the 3s..but for me there not forgiveing ...An the B&W can be vary none forgiveing...An then there like all maggys there flat..An the pole-peace is in the back....i am not cuting CD...I like a sweeter sound.. i think most do ...It the [Sound of the Sound] that not right to me...but i dont think one speaker ever going to do it for me...it to much funn to have 6-10 pr around... i have a room ...an now no one but ME to make happy.
you say
The 3.7s threw a "bass surprise". This was like reaching down to frequencies that are out of their expected range. It was not very strong, just well rounded, resounding and delightfully proper.
I get this on all the older magnepans....bass surprise....SOME time..i can see where some well say ...there just to good...for what?? the Tone.
The 3.7 for over $5k ...I can do better for less..ESL that i have still kill the magnepans in most ways...Old maggys are a lot of fun an can be had for littel Cash!
Thanks
