Welcome! Need support, you got it. Or share your ideas and experiences.

So, if you're focussing on audiophile listening now ...

then it might take you a while to get sound you like listening to, with your 3.6s. Because I have, basically, an earlier-but-improved version of 3.6s and I can assure you, they make me want to listen to them all day ... absolutely no 'painful listening' or cringe here.

You say "The imaging was mushy." ... I don't have that problem. Do you have the 3.6s positioned in the room optimally? If you think so, then your room has a problem.

You also said "The panels didn't integrate well." The best recording I have for showing how well drivers are integrated is RCA RDCE-4, Beethoven's "Appassionata" plyed by a Japanese lady pianist. There are amazing scale runs in this sonata; when you listen to it on my 3-way Maggies, you can't tell when one driver hands over to the next - ie. it is integrated! :-))

Are you using the Al Sekela "choke tweak" on your ribbons? Do you have the attenuation resistor in place? (Which will bring down the highs, so the bass energy is sufficient.)

BTW, I don't think swapping your 3.6s for 3.7s will solve your problems.

Regards,

Andy
