I discussed this in detail with Wendell when I got my 3.7i. Basically he said "why take a step backward when we already optimized the crossover". In other words, NO.
I married the perfect woman. The downside is everything that goes wrong is my fault.

Agree with what Satie said. Now, some would say Magnepan could've chosen to continue on with the parallel XOs of the 3.6 - just changed the slopes - but they didn't ... so the series XO version must sound better.
The truth of that I cannot comment on - but I'd stake my 'left one' that a 3.7 that had its passive XO excised and replaced by a 3-way active XO ... would sound much better! :-))

PS: and if you ask Wendill about replacing a Maggie's MDF frame with a hardwood frame, he will give you a similar brush-off comment. :-))

No disagreement there. I am just not up to it at this time.

We are talking about copying the XO electrical performance into a parallel line level XO, not substituting a new design. Which is hopefully what others who biamp are doing.
