I think this speculation and complaints about the lack of information about the "i" upgrade is pointless. Magnepan has obviously chosen to keep the specifics of the changes secret because their competitors can use this to their advantage too. So far all that leaked out is that the change required significant effort to develop and has measurable results. So don't expect any further info to come out until there is either a patent issued or someone else comes out with a similarly altered planar speaker and uses the new "technology" to make claims about performance.
The review that we have so far is indicating an unsubtle improvement in the 3.7i performance over its predecessor. That is what should concern us as users. I don't know that we could expect to be able to apply this modification ourselves on a DIY basis. Particularly since it is going to stay a proprietary secret for the foreseeable future.
