Hi Troy,

First and foremost, WELCOME to AA!

I have heard both the Cornwall III as well as the latest Magnepan 3.7. Over here, both sells about the same price. The deciding factor would be your amps. As I am having the 15 watter Leben, Cornwall III's would be the "automatic" choice as its a match for tubes as well as providing the very high efficiency needed to not tax the Leben and still sounding good. Well, the Cornwall III certainly is good.

I have not heard the Magneplaner 3.6's before but the 3.7 is an obvious shocker. It is really very good, if you can take the bass for what it is. Of course, adding a great sub to match would bring the speaker to a very very high level of performance. By itself, it is already very good. I am able to hear this pair of speakers for a few occasion as the local dealer also handle Meridian to which I am very committed. The reason I am listening to other speakers, is to have a feel of what can match my Leben CS300xs "soup-up" integrated amplifier.

So far, price viz-a-viz, these are 2 great speakers! Either one is great, except you need to consider the amplifier matching. Thats my 2 cents worth of opinion. Have fun in your hunt.

Once again, WELCOME!

Cheers!
