Evolution Acoustics MMMicroOne

But I was not talking about "listeners". I was talking about competing manufactures. Just like Jtinn. Hope it is clear now.

Usermanual okay I understand, reading your earlier post that was`nt clear, as show attendees made similar statements/comparisons also.

Late to this thread but having heard the micro one at Newport I can attest to their lifelike sound whether it be rock or jazz or classical. I think it was better than the similarly sized and more expensive Harbeth monitor which is quite good in its own right. At the price point this will sell it, it is an audiophile bargain.

How people can comment about any aspect of its sound without hearing it is difficult to fathom.

I love the dartzeel but could see my Ear integrated amp sing with these speakers.

I heard the MM Micros at RMAF, and I thought they sounded fantastic.

While I understand the desire to hear a product demo'd with similarly priced components, I for one do not begrudge manufacturers who demo their products with much more expensive components. I don't feel misled by this practice, and I don't believe it invalidates a product demo, for the following reason...

Objections to the practice seem to be based on the belief that, during the demo, the less expensive component will be "helped" by the more expensive components with which it is partnered. While that may be true, it is not inherently misleading. It would be misleading only if the more expensive components were somehow MASKING THE FLAWS of the less expensive component. In my experience, that is seldom the case. I believe that, as a generalization, the better a component gets, the more it REVEALS THE FLAWS of the components with which it is partnered.

Hence the practice of demo'ing an inexpensive product with much more expensive components can be considered a way of demonstrating not only the product's CAPABILITIES but also its LIMITATIONS. And that may just be the most honest demo of all.

P.S. I have no personal or financial relationship with Jonathan Tinn or Evolution Acoustics.

Excellent point Bryon, there`s no place to hide flaws as you increase the quality of accompanying components, it`s all laid bare and exposed.It is indeed a tribute when a modest priced component can shine with far more expensive audio gear.
