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?

I have heard the LS50 ( and they are nice ) but not even close to being in the same league as the MicroOnes.
I replaced my Maggie 1.7s with the MicroOnes and have never looked back. At this point the only speaker upgrade that I would consider would be to move up in the Evolution Acoustics line.
"Apparently one owner preferred the MM1 to a Magico Q7, so that is pretty high praise, and he ended up selling his Q7".
Funny to see how people can be naive and believe a story which is pushed by the owner of EA and its unofficial salesman Mike Lavigne...
My personal experience is that I owned Evolution acoustics MM3 for 4 years (which is way superior to the MM1 and Micro), sold it to get a pair of Magico Q1 6 months ago. Heard both in the same treated room. The Q1 completely destroyed my MM3 (except for bass extension, even if you would never believe the speaker playing is so small). The Q1 is so superior i nterm of transparency, transient, and precision of imaging that I am still shocked it is possible.
Additionally, quality of construction is without comparison.
The Q1 is build like a Switch watch. My MM3 was shipped with a cabinet screw in the middle of the spike thread. They started to delaminate when shipping them to new buyer. Not talking about the Micro, who are made in China (I live in taiwan and live in China high tech, so know what it means).
Sorry guys, quality has a price.
And btw, to the person who is hesitating between a second hand pair of V2/V3 and a Micro, the real choice is to buy the new Magico S1. I would take it anytime against the V2 or V3.
I agree with Dinder1. The MMM-1 is better than the LS50. The LS50 is nice, but does not have the lows the MMM-1 has and it also sounds "boxey". the LS50 would make a great bookshlef speaker in a nearfield situation like at your desk.

I have to ask this... Do you guys REALLY honestly believe someone heard the MM1 and preferred it to the Q7 and ended up selling the Q7 because of it? I am mean _really_ actually believe this?

Consider this version of events I heard... "Customer" is actually recruited as an investor, likes what he hears, invests, sells the Q7s because he has to, these stories are used to promote EA products over Magico.
Ack: I am really surprised that you would actually be so closed minded. If you need that to be your truth, so be it, but it absolutely is not true, and you are flat out being lied to. I GUARANTY IT.

Who did you hear that from? A desperate Magico dealer with the initials D.W.?

There were others there, with no interest in my products, that heard the comparison for themselves and can attest to exactly what happened. Please contact me offline and I would be more than happy to share further information including people you can contact if you are serious about the truth.

BTW, it was not the MMOne, it was our $2500 MMMicroOne.

Everything I say in the ad is absolutely true. The customer certainly did not need to trade them in, and certainly is not an investor in my company. That is ridiculous. Evolution Acoustics is currently backordered 7 months on our full size loudspeakers and 1 1/2 months on our Micro Series. We certainly have no desire or need for "investors". That is laughable.

The customer owned Magico Q5's prior to the Magico Q7's. He listened side by side (Q7's vs. MMMicroOne) and proceeded to order the Evolution Acoustics MMSevens.

Are you going to THE Show Newport Beach? If this nonsense continues, I will bring the MMMicroOne loudspeakers along with the Magico Q7's and you and everyone else can listen for yourselves.
