Evolution Acoustics MMMicroOne

I was just about to mention that Stereomojo show report. Everyone should read it, simply for the pure entertainment, compared to other show reporting which is basically just listing the room and gear without giving opinion regarding the sound.

Anyway... they did point out the MMMicro One was a better sounding speaker than the Magico Q1, and the Magico did use much more expensive upstream equipment.

But I am with Robsker on the opinion good amplification can make average speakers sound fantastic, and a Dartzeel integrated amp is not chump change.

Jtinn, I do not think 20k of amplification is too much or little for any type of speaker price range. I am just pointing out that it is a very expensive integrated amp.

I hope that the MMMicroOne can give a substantial amount of it's performance with an integrated in the 3-5k price range, which is where it will mostly be used.

btw, are you the same Jonathon Tinn that was behind the Lyra Connoisseur preamps from years ago? They were very highly regarded equipment, and got the ravest reviews of any product that did not use advertising bribery (which always says something).

Looks like the Magico Q1 will be to standmount speakers what Nordost Valhalla was to cable builders. A high dealer margin product to aspire and beat for a much cheaper cost.
