New magnepan 2.7

I have the Magnepan 3.7i.
Now, you have the Magnepan 2.7i for 8700 euros I think...
 
Price today in France :

LRS+ : 1795 Euros ( old LRS : 1090 Euros)
Magnepan MG .7 : 2600 Euros
Magnepan MG 1.7i : 3890 Euros
Magnepan MG 3.7i : 10.990 Euros
Magnepan 20.7 : 24.990 Euros
Magnepan MG 30.7 : 52.990 Euros
Magnepan CCR : 5290 Euros

I think MG 2.7i will be near 8000 Euros....
 
When I bought my 3.7s (which I gave to my son when I got my 30.7s), there was no 2.7. If any of you needs a good cry, they were under $7000 (and this was NOT that long ago!)

Though I it's nice to have options, I still think the 3.7s are the "sweet spot" of performance vs price. When I bought them, I considered 20.7's (I auditioned them in my home, something my local hifi dealer shocked me by offering!) - but they were not enough better (to me) to justify the big price difference. The bass was the biggest difference and I got a sub (see my threads).

If 3.7s are a stretch on the budget, the 2.7s may fill the bill, but: you MIGHT wish you'd saved a bit longer and got the 3.7s. I highly recommend using an SVS PB1000 (sub) with either one.

Quando ho comprato le mie 3.7 (che ho dato a mio figlio quando ho preso le 30.7), non esistevano le 2.7. Se qualcuno di voi ha bisogno di piangere, costavano meno di 7000 dollari (e non è passato molto tempo!)

Anche se è bello avere delle alternative, continuo a pensare che le 3.7 rappresentino il "giusto compromesso" tra prestazioni e prezzo. Quando le ho acquistate, ho preso in considerazione le 20.7 (le ho provate a casa mia, e il mio rivenditore di fiducia mi ha sorpreso offrendomi un'offerta del genere!), ma non erano abbastanza migliori (per me) da giustificare la grande differenza di prezzo. I bassi erano la differenza più grande e ho preso un subwoofer (vedi i miei thread).

Se i 3.7 sono un po' troppo costosi, i 2.7 potrebbero fare al caso tuo, ma: POTRESTI aver preferito risparmiare un po' di più e prendere i 3.7. Consiglio vivamente di usare un SVS PB1000 (subwoofer) con entrambi.
Ciao, grazie per la risposta. Ma hai provato questo subwoofer? E, inoltre, hai sentito il 2.7?
 
It appears in Spanish on my screen. I gotta figure out how to translate.

Yes: this subwoofer is VERY good - AMAZING if price is factored-in
No; I have not heard the 2.7i
