1.7s without a doubt
DMGs can be tricky to place correctly and need to be in front of the arc (from the users listening spot) the main speakers are on (IIRC from talking to Wendell)
Mye stands and similar are of no use. Dipole radiators do not have the same movement issues as box speakers, and you will not improve phase coherence at all. if you don't believe me call up Maggie and ask Wendell...
I recently upgraded from 1.5's to 3.7i's and the difference is revelatory. I spent several hours comparing the 1.7(no i) to the 3.7i at a dealer's and they are pretty close.
