There are many more differences between the older generation (3.6) and newer generation (3.7) than just a switch from wire to to flat foil.
The original question asked, though, was simply "Foil vs Wire: What difference does it make? " not "how are the newer magneplanar speakers different.
One thing that I had not considered in my original reply was the change in diaphragm stiffness that the foil / glue / mylar "sandwich" would impart to the speaker. Yes that would change frequency response, all other things being equal. But the "other things" were also changed so I assume some one of those changes compensates for this somewhat stiffer diaphragm. ( Really I'd like to measure the stiffness of an old diaphragm vs a new one...yes there is more glue surface area, but wire is stiffer than foil....)
Science doesn't care what you believe.
