I think the only way to know is to lug your amp to a dealer where you can audition the 20.7. The impedance load may make your amp happier -- it seems to be up to the task now -- but a change in speakers may not make you happy. FWIW, I think 850 wpc at 4 ohms is sufficient for the 20.7s.
I married the perfect woman. The downside is everything that goes wrong is my fault.

I does like dem 20.7s.... I have given them quite them about a 3 hr listen..... I would never blindly switch over with speakers..... I have done it with other components based on reviews from real humans - that have gear that maybe I have heard - and they are replacing... that sort of thing. Quite frankly - I like my Odysseys a lot as well... I just think the 20.7s are magical....
As you may have noted on my other thread in the Amp/pre asylum - I had my pre go down - and only then realized I may have a synergy issue when I went direct with my DAC..... So, then I started thinking about this speaker move.... and wondering about synergy there as well etc....
I heard the 20.7 in demo as well and sat around moping for several days. Unfortunately going up the ladder from the 3.7i was not a viable option, monetarily and, more importantly, WAF =0. I have not heard the ML so I cannot comment on whether the 20.7 is better and even if I did voice an opinion; the only opinion that ever counts is your own.
I did respond to your amp impedance question and I think you need to find a more compatible pre. I would do this before making the speaker swap.
