Yep, Magnepan has come out with their .7 models inthe past year, but prior to that the .6 line hadn't changed in over a decade. They're by far one of the slowest moving companies in audio, and I'm not saying that's a bad thing. I have owned the 3.6s since 2009 and still love them. Even models previous to the .6 line, such as the 3.5s, Tympanis, SMGs, etc are often sent in for a "check-up" and refurbished...they still sound amazing even though they are 20 years old. I would love to see Grado come out with some sort of update at some point, but for the time being I absolutely love their headphones. Magnepan and Grado are by far my two favorite companies in audio...very proud to be a customer of both
Except Magnepan is continuing to aggressively innovate. Leaving aside new products such as the MMG, Magnapan has continued to move its products forward with inmpressive improvements. Compare, for example, the near perfect integration of the ribbon and the planar-magnetic drivers of the 3.7 v. the older 3.6.
Grado is not advancing its products in the same fashion. It may not need to however as many are delighted with their offerings as they currently exist.
