Evolution Acoustics MMMicroOne

Stereo Mojo.com says the MM Micro One sounds better than the Magico Q1 in their RMAF Show review. Having attended this show and hearing both speakers(different systems, but both very expensive) I`d agree the Evolution speaker was much better and certainly more involving and natural.

I would assume at a cost factor 10x higher the Magico used more expensive parts. So itemizing various parts/prices is`nt always an accurate way to judge the finished product. DOC77 what`s the point in focusing on the individual speaker part cost? Ultimately the ability to reproduce music well is the only meaningful objective.

I was just about to mention that Stereomojo show report. Everyone should read it, simply for the pure entertainment, compared to other show reporting which is basically just listing the room and gear without giving opinion regarding the sound.

Anyway... they did point out the MMMicro One was a better sounding speaker than the Magico Q1, and the Magico did use much more expensive upstream equipment.

But I am with Robsker on the opinion good amplification can make average speakers sound fantastic, and a Dartzeel integrated amp is not chump change.

My affiliation with Vapor is I own a pair and have literally fallen in love with them. Because of them my entire paradigm of what stereo reproduction should be has changed. I've been a lurker for years.

Hey guys, I said the MMMicroOnes sounded nice. Actually I'd agree as well that they sounded better at RMAF than the Q1's ... but Magico is an easy target. I also thought the Fritz speakers sounded equal or better than the MMMicroOnes for even LESS money.

I suppose all the boastful claims from Jtinn are what prompted me to post.

Interesting. I was standing outside, talking to Irv Gross, Magico sales manager, when the Mojo couple came out of the room. I am pretty sure I heard them asking Irv if they can get a pair of Q1 for an audition. I guess they are masochists.

I haven't heard either one, and the Micro One may very well be an excellent speaker. However, it's hard to take Stereomojo seriously when it comes to, well, anything........
