Evolution Acoustics MMMicroOne


Hey guys,

Has anyone heard the new Evolution Acoustics MMMicroOne? Just saw this pic from CES 2011.

Any thoughts on this one?

Evolution Acoustics MMThree would be my dream speaker. But JTinn, I am on Robsker's side of argument. Take a look at my system. By your standards it is probably in class C/D/E.... But think - when I want to upgrade, I will always want to hear components in my range. I once was heard a PSB Silveri being driven by Krell mono blocks - this was about 12 years back - at a show. I was really mesmerized by the "ease of flow" of the music. Later when I wanted to put in a real system, I auditioned the same PSBs at a dealer. This time it was driven by a NAD power amp and later switched to Arcam integrated amp. Guess what - I was not that much impressed. I am not saying that the same will imply for the MMMicroOne.

But if you are targeting the MMMicroOne speakers for regulars like us, then the demo with real-life-electronic-partner will make more sense. (As of now) I cannot afford $20k+ electronics. If I could afford that, I would easily afford $20k+ speakers.

Andrew,
You are right. It is the speaker's strength to show the quality of electronics being used. But with a demo like that, I will always be frustrated knowing that my electronics will always be my weak link in the chain.
I find these speakers intriguing. Been keeping my eyes open for a review. I came across a recent article that mentions that they speakers may be made overseas:

Yes, waiting for reviews/feedback from owners with "regular electronics" rather than $$$$$ electronics.
Bryon,
I think Aoliviero is complaining about the extra $900 that he was not told besides the shipping that he had to pay. It would be fair to let any buyer know what the "total" cost of the transaction would be.
Even when I was dealing with Promitheus from Malaysia (very small compared to EA), they told me the total price including shipping and customs. BTW, I don't think it's fair to compare plane tickets for passengers with freight :-)
Jtinn,
+1 for you. Absolutely fair self judgement. Keep it up!!

Sprks,
To me, MMMicro One and Vapor Cirrus are directly competing products. I bet, a lot of people would be vising EA and Vapor room for these 2 products. From whatever I read and gather information, these two products seem to offer the best bang for buck in the stand-mount loudspeaker category.
Jtinn,
It is not about the cost. It was about the responsibility of the dealer/manufacturer to communicate the correct price to the consumer. Your responsible reply will rub positively with folks on this forum who want to upgrade their speakers in future. And that is what I applauded you for.
Peterayer,
That is what Geared4me mentioned above. He heard them at RMAF yesterday.
