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 cost reduction on a small volume of manufactured speakers in China. My guess on the Micros is that all production will be in China including the component manufacture and assembly, i.e. a major labor and regulatory compliance cost reduction. For confirmation of my best guesses, you will have to speak to Jonathan Tinn. And if the production model differs from the "show" model, I will be very disappointed, so let's hope that is not the case.

I placed an order for these in late January 2011 - can't believe I've been this patient. Hope they're all the reviewers say and more. Maybe the long wait is creating unrealistic expectations. Any additional delays and my enthusiasm will seriously wane. A typical pair of speakers only lasts one or two years with me - the wait has already pushed them to the end of their life-cycle! Insane hobby...

Groovybassist, just curious, did you have to pay a deposit when you ordered these speakers ? If so, what % of total cost ?

I have heard of other sagas getting audio components from prototype to production, but this one wins first place.
