I was initially very enthusiastic because the bass the Devialet was able to produce on the 1.7, truly special. But after a couple of weeks I have come to realized that the overall sound had not enough "oomph" (for lack of better word) with the 1.7, compare to my Ayre AX-5 or my Hegel H300. Maybe a 200, or 400 would do a better job driving the 1.7 or the 3.7.

Are you still using the 120+1.7? Did you do any changes to make it work better?

I am considering the .7 in my system. I will of course try the speakers at home, but with my 250 at full power setting (I use a setting of 180W with my current speakers) I hope this will work. As I use room correction (Audiolense) I should be able to tune the amplitude response if needed. I would like to know if the tweeter panel is connected with same or reverse polarity to the bass panel. I know the 1.6 had the tweeter reversed, but .7 is a completely new design so I am hoping. Does anyone know?

A follow up on my own post here.
I talked to Wendell Diller of Magnapan on the phone some time ago. He confirmed that the bass and tweeter panels have the same electrical polarity. Even more interesting is the fact that the deviding network of the .7 (and 1.7) is of the so called serial type where a capacitor is connected across the bass panel for low pass and an inductor across the tweeter for high pass. The filter is 1st order. The technical minded members will like this information I hope!
I have not yet had a chance to try the .7 at home.
