What beats the Evolution Acoustics MM3 ??
I believe it is an aurum cantum G3. Accuton for the mid. Don't know for woofer 
What beats the Evolution Acoustics MM3 ??
Bkonig,I fully agree with your points. I am a big jazz fan, and the sad reality is that often the sound of my system is better than concerts I am attending, problem being the quality of amplification used in a lot of jazz clubs (and the fact that ... 
What beats the Evolution Acoustics MM3 ??
I heard Volent at the manufacturing company in HK. Bottom line is it is quite transparent in medium range, rather analytical sound (not surprising given the driver used), good tonal accuracy, but you don't have the same transparency and image as f... 
What beats the Evolution Acoustics MM3 ??
Drubin,you can set up the frequency response the way you want with the tweeter adjustment on the MM3. For too bright recordings, I decrease the tweeter setting by 2-3dB and at measurements you get exactly the gradual downward slope you are preferr... 
What beats the Evolution Acoustics MM3 ??
forgot to answer the title of the post: to my ears, nothing below 100k beats them. I am living between Taipei, HK and Tokyo so have access to dealers representing the best speakers on the market... I spent one year making listening sessions before... 
What beats the Evolution Acoustics MM3 ??
"Mediocre recordings sound OK, good recordings sound FANTASTIC and great recordings sound UNBELIEVABLE. I now just sit back and feel transported to each and every recording venue"I have also a pair of MM3 and can only agree. These speakers are a l... 
Has anyone heard FM Acoustics
I have heard recently a FM acoustic system (amp and also their new loudspeakers)at a dealer. Was nice, but overpriced. Heard on the same day a Spectral+Magico Mini2 combination at the same dealer: I found the sound much more involving. FM sound wa... 
APL NWO-2.5T A Review of a Classic CD Player
After several weeks traveling abroad, I am finally back to Tokyo. My wife had kept listening to music in the meantime, so burn-in of speakers, of evolution acoustics cables and of the NWO2.5T went on (she lost count on the hours...).Wow! the sound... 
APL NWO-2.5T A Review of a Classic CD Player
Well,I am now at around 270 hours burning time on the NWO2.5T. The sound has kept improving for the last 100 hours. Much more open, relaxed, while keeping its transparency and ability to dissociate sounds from different instruments. Everything is ... 
Magico mini 2 versus Magico mini 1
ok.... I believed there were announcing a new model 3 to bridge the gap between the mini and the model6....

APL NWO-2.5T A Review of a Classic CD Player
1) About the upgrade cycle: I have ordered an APL NWO2.5 beginning of January. I was planned to pick it up in April, and learned 1 week before that the NWO 2.5T has just been introduced. I decided therefore to convert my order in a 2.5T... and end... 
$40.000 speaker advise. Check out my list
Max,I would go for evolution acoustics MM3 (that I ordered), Magico Mini or Kharma, at least if you like very transparent sound (but not sure they will match well with ML gear). I listened to a lot of speakers over the last 6 months in Hong Kong /...
