Evolution Acoustics MM2/MM3

Hi,

i am toying with the idea of replacing my current speakers. I currently have Rockport Aviors, which by the way, I love.

The only reason reason I would contemplate changing the Aviors are for bigger, better scale of presentation, bass definition and depth and most importantly, the ability to adjust the bass and tweeter response. Hence the veer towards EA speakers.

While I have posted a similar post elsewhere in the forum, I hope someone will be able to comment on whether I am looking in the right direction or not? Also, I would be quite keen to buy a used pair of MM2 or MM3 ( for that matter) if someone here is keen to sell theirs on way to an upgrade.

neeless to say, I have heard only good things about EA and some recent impression, of one of my good audiophile friends, of the MM7 at Mike Lavigne's has piqued my interest substantially. Surely, I don't want to lose on the trade-in, so lots of things jostling in my mind at the same time. 

Would welcome ideas.......please!

cheers

I don't see your virtual system - very hard to comment without any idea of your setup. Sounds like your Rockports are not working for your needs if you desire adjusting woofer and tweeter.

Quite frankly I would not put any Evolution speakers in the uber class with Rockport, Rockport uses way better everything.

The only issue is scale with the Rockports you have, the Avior which doesn't have thunderous bass.

If you are looking for probably the best buy in high end loudspeakers right now, I would look at the new Paradigm Persona 9H $35,000.00 they are amazing, they use even better drivers then Rockport, the Persona uses a 1 inch pure Beryllium tweeter and a 7 inch pure Beryllium midrange, so the sound is very transparent and completely coherent, the bass is a real stand out with four 8.5 inch long throw bass drivers with 2 inch linear throw coupled to 1400 watts of amplification and active room correction.  

They sound huge with unbelievable dynamics! If you are in the New York metro area we have them on display and they are the best overall high performance speaker on the market today!

I was in the same position a few months ago with Aerial 7Ts. I have a relatively large room and I wanted speakers with a bigger sound, more dynamic, but still imaged well and disappeared. I changed to Monitor Audio PL500's and couldn't be happier. I would listen to MM2's and 3's and let your own ears decide. The other question is will they play well in your room? The Aerials are great speakers, but not for a relatively large room.

Hi guys, many thanks for your responses. I was traveling hence the delay in response. I will be in Miami next week and I am trying to see if I can listen to the EA and the paradigm. Any idea who are the dealers in Miami?

audiotroy, is it possible to correspond offline? I want to know more about the persona.

thanks
