Any 3.x model is a better speaker but for the seamless coherence of the all wire maggies. For most people it is not as important as the great ability of the ribbon tweeter to give you detail and extension far out beyond most people's hearing..
If you do get an older 3.x that has not yet been refurbished (same for the 1.6) then consider starting to save towards a rebuild of at least one panel within a few years. Unless you can DIY a delam repair..
It is an advantage of the 3.x series, till the current 3.7 that they can be biamped. If you want to you can keep your Adcom for biamping and use it on the bass panels and get a nicer amp for the top end. A good high current 100 watt amp should do fine. The older Theta Lexicon and Proceed multichannel class AB amps are remarkable for biamping. The Theta Dreadnought is a legend. Another favorite choice for the top end is the Classe DR9 or model 10.
