Evolution Acoustics MMMicroOne

Lets keep this thread about the MMMicroOne and not about trying to bash Jtinn and Evolution Acoustics. I have dealt with Jonathan many times and he has always been honest and you can get in contact with him. It may take a few times to get in touch with him but it is because he is busy and does have a life outside of work. Now back on subject........

I received the MMMicroOne's over a week ago. They were in two wooden crates,speakers in one and stands in the other. They are very well packed, with no chance of damage to any of the parts. They are more expensive to ship because of the crates but it is well worth the extra expense. The stands are well engineered and attach to the speakers easily. Don't expect much for the first few hours of break in. After about 25 hours they sounded good but it took around 100 hours of break in, to really appreciate just how exceptional these speakers are. They keep getting better and better as time goes by. They are as Aoliviero described above. I think Evolution Acoustics should be proud of the great engineering job that they did on the MMMicroOne. The speakers disappear and have a wide and deep soundstage. They are very coherent through the lows to mids to highs and have great micro and macro detail. I do not know how they get so much bass out of these small speakers.

Those that want a great speaker for the money, then I would put the MMMicroOne on the top of your list. They would be bargain at $5,000 and are a steal at $2,500. Those of us that took a chance on these speakers have been rewarded with a great speaker at a great price. Those that are worried about the price going up, should have got on board earlier. I do not see how they can produce a speaker of this quality and sound at this price point...but they did. It will be a bargain even if the price increases.

Aol,

Wow that is rare in this day and age in Ref. to your last post. Taking back harsh words is a sign of true character. To me that's the sound of heaven.

Jtinn, I admit I over reacted a bit, sorry about that and thanks for your answer to my question.

Hi everyone. I'm still breaking my MMMicroOne's in, so no substantive comments yet. But two quick questions for those of you who have them:

(1) If your amp has multiple taps, are you running the speakers on the 4ohm taps or the 8ohm taps? I have a little Jolida 202BRC and it has both 4 and 8 ohm taps.

(2) If your speakers are fully broken in and in the best position for your room, did you spike them to the floor? My listening room is in the basement, with hardwood floors over concrete, so stability/footfalls isn't really a problem. I'm just wondering how much benefit there would be from installing them with spikes rather than not doing so (once they're broken in and positioned, of course).

am the new owner of a pair of MMMicroOnes. Hadn't read any reviews or even heard of them when I went to audition them. The first time I wasn't able to understand how they sounded so good for that price. Went back a second time with my test CDs, since it didn't work the first time. Still can't understand how they sound so good, but had to buy them. Now I'm looking for the rest of the system. Had to sell the old one in Brazil and had been looking for speakers since relocating to the US (used to have KEF Reference 201.2). That part of the search is done.
Next step: amplification. I feel that these speakers need high current to get the best of them. Will probably spend about 3x their price and they will still deserve it... that is, if I don't find an absolute bargain amp similar to these.
