| Small room speakers? You might want to try the new Evolution Acoustics MMMicroOnes. I bought a pair for $2500 and they are one of the best speakers I have heard at any price. | |
| Fremer lays an Ostrich egg... I agree with Mapman and Tpreaves above. Why do you care what some reviewer says about your amps? Remember, this is the guy who claimed that the Harmonic Technology Cyber Light Cables were the most significant improvement he had ever heard in his l... | |
| Donald Fagen-Sunken Condos I am also a big Steely Dan and Donald Fagen fan but haven't been able to warm up to this one. Other than the muffled midrange mentioned above, this LP has too much of a recycled quality, like we have heard these songs before. I remember one cut so... | |
| What is your favorite 1 hit wonder from the 70's? Yep, Norman Hurricane Smith who was an audio engineer for the Beatles and producer for Pink Floyd. I believe he recently passed away. Great tune. | |
| What is the single best pre amp you have ever hear Essence Jasper Reference preamp. Only 7 were made. Mine has been modded with carbon nanotubes. | |
| Next Phonostage I also had a Rhea and was considering updating it to the Signature version when the dealer convinced me to spend a little more and get the Steelhead. I am glad he did. This product has a lot of flexibility and you can dial in the gain, input trans... | |
| What is your favorite 1 hit wonder from the 70's? "Third Rate Romance" by Amazing Rhythm Aces"Joy" by Apollo 100"Overture from Tommy" by Assembled MultitudeBTW, Andy Kim was the writer of "Sugar Sugar" by the Archies, a #1 smash in 1969. | |
| Donald Fagen-Sunken Condos My favorite Steely Dan/Walter Becker/Donald Fagen album is........whatever one I am listening to at the time. I am just grateful that these guys keep putting out recordings in this day of execrable sonic dreck. I have always loved these beat poets... | |
| Wilson Sophia 1,2, or 3? I owned a pair of Sophia 1's and have heard 2's and 3's at dealers and shows. I have always considered the Sophia as the most coherent of the Wilson speakers, at least until I heard the Sashas at the Newport Beach Audio Show. Each Sophia model has... | |
| Evolution Acoustics MMMicroOne I believe I have read that the best engineering practice is to couple an audio component to something that is more stable and decouple it from something less stable. Since I have a cement floor under my carpet I couple my MMMicroOnes to the floor ... | |
| Evolution Acoustics MMMicroOne One thing that seems to help tighten focus and bass is loading the stand risers with lead shot. I also wrapped a lead shot-filled ankle weight around the bottom of the risers for a total of about 20 lbs per speaker. Finding lead shot here in CA wa... | |
| Evolution Acoustics MMMicroOne Dear fellow Goners: I just wanted to state for the record (I have no afilliation with EA) that I have always found them to be responsive and am completely satisified with the delivery, quality, and sound of my MMMicroOnes. I can also sympathize wi... | |
| Evolution Acoustics MMMicroOne I am in a much smaller room than your 20 x 30 x 8 and sit nearfield between the speakers, so I am not entirely sure if the speakers are good candidates for your larger room. A lot of it will depend on how much amplifier power you have. The speaker... | |
| Evolution Acoustics MMMicroOne Before anyone dismisses these speakers entirely based on possible rising prices, I would strongly encourage you to seek out a pair for listening. They are one of the best-sounding speakers that I have heard in almost 40 years in audio. | |
| Evolution Acoustics MMMicroOne I was on vacation for a week (out of phone, cell, pager, computer, carrier pigeon, and smoke signal range) which was glorious, but now returned to find my MMMicroOnes and hooked them up yesterday. Yes, they were fantastically packaged and flawless... |
