Evolution Acoustics MMMicroOne
Mine will also be here next week. Can't decide which recording to listen to first. Decisions, decisions. 
Evolution Acoustics MMMicroOne
I have only heard them during a day at the recent Newport Beach Show. They are in my opinion an enigma. They have a full, immediate sound in the midrange and do a terrific job of disappearing, i.e. if you closed your eyes you would have no clue as... 
Evolution Acoustics MMMicroOne
Hi, Unoear. You are starting to ask questions for which I have little knowledge. Regarding the other EA speakers, I know that their volume is a fraction of potential MMMicro One sales, so I doubt that there would be much of a potential overall cos... 
Evolution Acoustics MMMicroOne
I believe that they are indeed being made in China. I came late to the game with these after reading the rave reviews online and hearing them at the recent Newport Beach Show, and I ordered a pair. I am aware that there have been a lot of producti...

Seadogs1, I am not completely sure but I do not believe any mmmicro ones have shipped either to customers or to the few dealers they have. I am on their waiting list but have heard nothing for a few weeks. 
Where do you go after a Dynaudio C1 ?
Another small room monitor that is very revealing of musical detail is the Ridge Street Audio Sasons. I have had a pair for some months now and they have loads of detail and pretty good bass for a 2-way. This may be due to the granite cabinets tha...

Jonathan says they are in customs and should be out soon. I hope these long awaited speakers will finally become available. 
Has anyone had any luck in contacting Dale Pitcher
I too have been dealing with Dale for many years, more than 20 to my recollection. And yes, he often takes money up front and is slow to deliver, but slow is not the same as never. He always delivers eventually and I am amazed at the performance o... 
MoFi Release Meets Expectations FINALLY
I own every MoFi vinyl release up to about catalog number 350 or so. The recent releases are absolutely horrible, easily being bested by original pressings. I finally decided not to waste my money on any more of these sonically compromised LP's. T... 
Has anyone had any luck in contacting Dale Pitcher
I just spoke to Dale Monday. I would suggest trying Alpha-Tech Audio in St. Louis. They just fixed my Essence Jasper Reference Preamp and are starting to fix all of his Essence gear. Their number is 314-645-5250. If you want to email me privately ... 
Evolution Acoustics MMMicroOne
I spoke to Jonathan Friday and he said they were about 4 weeks away from shipping the first MicroOnes. Apparently they have had production issues typical of startup companies and/or products. 
Ventura & Santa Barbara, CA
Montecito is in the Santa Barbara area on the high side of the tracks. I am not sure about AA and its current status. I am guessing that it is a small proprietorship, perhaps even home-based. 
WP7 to 8? Worth the move?
I had a pair of Sophias and then WP7's, and have heard the 8's at Brooks Berdan here in SoCal. I agree with Grant's assessment of the difference in sound. To my ears, the Sophias have better driver coherence, the images are more robust, and they a... 
Matching Amp to Wilson Sophia 2
I had Sophia I's and tried a bunch of solid-state and tubed amps, and IMO, tubes are the way to go with these speakers. Unlike the Watt Puppies, the Sophias are an easy load and I thought they sounded best using high-powered tube jobs from ARC, Co... 
Collecting Blue Note Jazz
As always, note that those who dismiss hot stampers are those same individuals who have never heard one. You can always argue that they are overpriced but not if you haven't tried one. I like those rationalizations; it helps keep the hot stamper p...
