wilsom MAXX3 or Evolution Acoustics MMThree ?

Janeb: With all due respect, how can you know Ed's room is "waaay too small?" He never even posted his dimensions.

Ed mentioned that he had a lack of bass foundation, not a situation of bass overload. If the room was "waaay too small," wouldn't you expect a large loudspeaker to put out too much bass?

I would sure like to hear the MM2's. From the specs and what I have read, they are truly a bargain in that league for the performance they offer. The MM3's with the extra woofer should offer more bass than what the specifications state on the home page. I love my B&W 800's, but I am slowly acclimating towards a leap in speaker performance. Must have a powered 15" woofer though. I have never come to like the looks of the Wilson's even if they sound good, they are part of the decor.

JaneB: The room is actually larger than portrayed in the pics. Unfortunately it isn't audio friendly and has to serve primarily as a living space so my understanding wife and I can share the space effectively.

Is the sofa in the wrong spot? Absolutely..... but short of moving it every time I fire up the system I live with the trade off.

Jtinn is right, I would expect the speakers to overload the room if it was too small. Instead they sounded like smaller speakers which could not load the room effectively.

The MM2's adjustability helped me work with the room's shortcomings and provide the bass foundation I was searching for.

Dev: You're right, a room problem exists but my point was to highlight the fact that the MM2's were able to be adjusted to provide the response that the Maxx's never were able to. Not many can claim to have heard BOTH the Maxx 3's and MM2's in the same room. I can. I am not slamming the Maxx's not one bit. They are an incredible speaker. What I am saying is that the MM2's open the doors to more environments due to their adjustability and to take this into consideration when making the upgrade leap.

Enjoy the tunes!

Hello Eddie,

The MM2's look wicked .... nice setup !

regards,

Ed, please describe how the frequency response graph was derived. Is that curve at the primary listening position?
