Evolution Acoustics MMMicroOne


Hey guys,

Has anyone heard the new Evolution Acoustics MMMicroOne? Just saw this pic from CES 2011.

Any thoughts on this one?

JTinn:

Thanks for the responses. I did not know that you are as well connected to Playback Designs, Wave Kinetics and were the importer of darTZeel. When you say "I have responsibilities to keep those products seen at trade shows" that makes perfect sense to me and certainly legitimizes your auditioning your speakers as you did. What I objected to is such expensive front end on your speakers --- it was perceived by me initially as yet another example of what I have seen too often -- a vendor forwarding their product under unrealistic conditions that can come at the detriment of the potential consumer. Now that you explain why you did what you did (your being connected to and part of much of the associated equipment as well) you have convinced me that what you did is far, far, more reasonable a thing than I at first thought.

So... I would simply suggest that you consider --- in addition to what you have been doing --- also demoing your speakers with lesser electronics at some point so as to enable consumers to project what your speakers might sound like in a system consistent with what most 2.5K speakers have as a total system

I do apologize to you for causing stress. As you say, it is easy for us consumers to post... we have no livelihood associated with the product --- you do. Again, apologies.

Please recognize that all along I have never doubted the quality of your product, just the context of the demo. I actually would love to hear your speakers at some point... with about 10K of front end!

Best of luck with your products... clearly those who have heard your speakers are eminently impressed. I simply ask all who have posted on this thread, no matter what your position might be on the demo context, acknowledge that JTinn has clearly made a product that must be pretty darn impressive. Again, I hope to hear it soon.
Doc77: Fair enough. But when your friend makes completely wrong statements as he did, he might not be an idiot just one prone to idiotic statements :) As a side note, I know some people who have been in this business for much longer than 20 years that are complete idiots. Time has nothing to do with it.

Again, you are also completely wrong about the specs being exaggerated. We took no liberties, I believe it was you who did with your assertions.

As far as the drivers are concerned, our tweeter is based on air motion transformer principles. We have a proprietary motor structure and chamber system as well as other numerous differences that I cannot not go into.

Our midrange driver utilizes a ceramic cone with a magnesium aluminum inner skin. This gives us all the benefits of the drivers we use in our other series, without the fragility.

Next time you are at a show and visit our room, please introduce yourself. I would love to meet you and I will buy the first round.
Robsker: Thanks for your understanding and your well wishes. Please let me know if you ever get to hear the MMMicros. I would love to know what you think.

Douglas: Thank you as well.

Charles1dad: I now find myself thanking everybody :)
Jtinn, I do not think 20k of amplification is too much or little for any type of speaker price range. I am just pointing out that it is a very expensive integrated amp.

I hope that the MMMicroOne can give a substantial amount of it's performance with an integrated in the 3-5k price range, which is where it will mostly be used.

btw, are you the same Jonathon Tinn that was behind the Lyra Connoisseur preamps from years ago? They were very highly regarded equipment, and got the ravest reviews of any product that did not use advertising bribery (which always says something).
