wilsom MAXX3 or Evolution Acoustics MMThree ?


Has anyone had actuall experience (shows, dealers, home, ownership...) with both of them to have comparative recommendation. Thinking of changing my Wilson MAXX2, and while I`m not sure if i`m doing the right thing, considering the price differences, those two speakers seems to be a natural replacements. But, I have no experience with any of them, and my dealers do not hold them, so help is needed. Thank you.

I certainly wouldn't make this move without an extensive audition of the MM Three, ideally in your room.

There is no advice anybody who has heard both speakers can offer here that would be worth the change.

One final thought, Wilson will undoubtedly be around in a few years unlike many flavors of the month that come and go. The audio world is replete with meteors.

IMO

No financial interest in either product.
Bill's advice is very solid. Wilson, like B&W - like 'em or hate 'em - both are a force in the Audiophile Industry and will more likely have service support and better resale value for years to come.
there is an Audiogon'er Eddiesudz, who upgraded his MAXX2's to MAXX3's, and then switched to Evolution Acoustics MM2's.

here is Eddie's system page

i'd recommend e-mailing him and ask him that question.

i am an Evolution Acoustics MM3 owner. i also like the MAXX3's. i do prefer the MM3's.

i like the ribbon tweeter/ceramic mid-range combo of the Evolution's. i love that i can use a modestly powered amplifier and still have all the bass performance you could ever want. i actually prefer the aesthetics of the Evolution overall but the MAXX3's are beautifully put together with perfect fit and finish.

you cannot go wrong either way and like the earlier posters i recommend that you listen to both and then decide. if you are in the Seattle area you are welcome to come and listen.
