its not about playing loud, its about the small details that a more powerful Bryston will convey, especially at lower volumes. Take it from someone who has owned various Bryston amps since the 80's. The largest benefit I have ever realized was moving from a 4B-SST to a 14B-SST with Maggies in play. To my ears and in my system I felt that it was more beneficial that moving between generations ie. Pre-ST to ST to SST.
If you have to wait longer then you'll know that 7Bs will always be out there when you are ready and the leap up to them won't be nearly as costly as moving to 20.7s...
Fortunately I don't have the room for 20.7s so my 3.6s will have to do for a while.

I have heard neither the 20.7s nor the 7Bs so can't offer a direct opinion - but have heard both the 3.6s and the 3.7s at length, and suffice to say that I would not have purchased the 3.6s but love the 3.7s - there is a major difference in the two speakers. If I were in the market for the larger speakers I probably would gravitate to the 20.7s.
IMO, this was true of every Maggie speakers before the 3.7s and the other current models (based on hearing quite of few samples over the years) - they were generically warm but not completely tonally accurate nor revealing - the generic warmth tended to obfuscate detail.. The 3.7s are tonally accurate and revealing of detail.
YMMV, of course.

If you feel that 3.6's are not revealing you must have heard some pretty crappy setups. I am always amazed that my local dealer sells any Maggies because they are in a heavy damped room good for normal speakers but not Maggies. My 3.6's with Berning amps are the most detailed speakers I have ever heard. Was at Rocky Mountain and heard nothing better than my 3.6's. I have not heard the 3.7's in my own system which would be a necessaty for me
