RE: Difference between 3.7 and 3.7i's

I do not own 3.7s so I have no direct stake in this discussion, however, I find Magnepan's cloaking their update in secrecy intriguing. People who are secretive in general usually have something they wish to hide which may or may not be benign. Some manufacturers cover up electronic component part numbers so competitors cannot easily copy their designs. Other manufacturers may do so to cover up use of cheap component parts in an overpriced product. I suspect Magnepan may have released the 3.7 with a crossover part in error - either in design or procurement. The sound of the speaker may still be great but not up to snuff. If they admit their error they would ethically be on the hook to repair all speakers for free (a high expense for a small company unlike the auto industry that could more readily afford rework). By couching the change as an undisclosed "upgrade" they can foist the cost of repair on to the consumer. This is only conjecture on my part and the proof would be evidenced when someone examines the change.
