Spectral DMA 400 initial impressions
Let's not ignore, the bulletin makes two very strong claims: no capacitors in the signal path (well, frankly, the power supply is always in the signal path, thus those capacitors are in by proxy; therefore, I think what they mean is everywhere els... 
Spectral DMA 400 initial impressions
I think the differences are in favor of the 400s with the Q7. Also, there will be a DMA-300 stereo amp coming out at the end of the year, based on the 400s - will be interesting to see what that's all about...

I have to ask this... Do you guys REALLY honestly believe someone heard the MM1 and preferred it to the Q7 and ended up selling the Q7 because of it? I am mean _really_ actually believe this? Consider this version of events I heard... "Customer" i... 
Review: Martin Logan Odyssey Speaker
Addendum: you may notice that the crossover redo is based on the same Mundorf CFC coil inductors, Supreme capacitors and M-Resist Supreme resistors as the Q7 - long before the Q7 even existed. I went further and replaced the binding posts as well ... 
Review: Martin Logan Odyssey Speaker
Not sure why this was revived after 10 years... But at any rate, the stock Odysseys are very colored in the entire bass section, and by a very wide margin by today's standards, while also possessing panel colorations due to audible support pillar ...
