Evolution Acoustics MMMicroOne

I went back to their room,433,yesterday afternoon to find a line of people waiting to get in. Unfortunately it turned out that they had actually closed the room two hours before the end of the show. I will try again this morning when the room is most likely to be open.

Thanks, My buddy is at RMAF now and I hope he has a chance to hear these speakers in room #443. I missed the show this year but have fond memories of RMAF 2010. I look forward to the reports and the photos.

Krell_man. My point was that I don't think it takes too much to build a very good stand for a small speaker. The stands from Sound Anchors are about as overbuilt as I've ever seen. Incredibly heavy, sturdy, and inert. All the things you want from a speaker stand. They make a single post stand that would work great with the MMMicro One. And even filled and tuned, it's less than $350.
A friend of mine has a pair of their four post stands and I'm convinced you could park a semi truck on top of those things. And absolutely dead silent.

So, yes, a good quality stand is absolutely important. But when something like Sound Anchor exists, I just don't see the point in a $1500 brass stand. No matter how "super" they call it. I don't quite understand how it would be any better. Well, it might look prettier. I'll grant that. But performance, not sure how that would work. (Or why it would matter.)

Thats all I'm saying. Not trying to say that a good stand isn't important.

A well built stand is nothing special. It's not rocket science.

Prdprez, spoken from personal experience? Conjecture?

I personally believe in mechanical grounding and its positive effects on a system. I use a stand mounted speaker where the stand/speaker union is critical to performance. Without the stand, the speaker is just not the same. I have used run-of-the-mill stands on speakers in the past, and I can understand why you would arrive at those conclusions.

Hi Agear,
What do you mean by mechanical grounding? By this, do you mean coupling to the floor and speaker? (versus isolation) That's no more complicated than using a heavy enough stand and spikes that will lock into the floor and a hard connection with the speaker, such as a spike interface between the speaker and stand. Neither of these are very expensive to implement.
Or is there something more complicated to it that I'm missing?
Thanks!
