wilsom MAXX3 or Evolution Acoustics MMThree ?

there is an Audiogon'er Eddiesudz, who upgraded his MAXX2's to MAXX3's, and then switched to Evolution Acoustics MM2's.

here is Eddie's system page

i'd recommend e-mailing him and ask him that question.

i am an Evolution Acoustics MM3 owner. i also like the MAXX3's. i do prefer the MM3's.

i like the ribbon tweeter/ceramic mid-range combo of the Evolution's. i love that i can use a modestly powered amplifier and still have all the bass performance you could ever want. i actually prefer the aesthetics of the Evolution overall but the MAXX3's are beautifully put together with perfect fit and finish.

you cannot go wrong either way and like the earlier posters i recommend that you listen to both and then decide. if you are in the Seattle area you are welcome to come and listen.

Janeb,

the MAXX3 is a rear ported speaker; the Evolution Acoustics MM3 and MM2 have a sealed box with a powered subwoofer and many bass adjustments.

a rear ported speaker is definitely more limited in set-up choices than a powered sealed box with many adjustments.

looking at Eddie's room the closeness of the rear wall is likely more significant to the MAXX3 and it's ultimate bass performance than the furniture has for either speaker.

i have opinions on the quality of the bass from both speakers in general due to this differing design approach, but that's for another time.

Weseixas,

thanks. my wife thinks i should charge. :^)

seriously; if you are ever in the Seattle area you are welcome to come by for a listen.
