(In Ken Howard's lab test he thought the Evolutions would't be too hard to drive)
He referred to the Evolution as the kick ass little brother to the Homage's and Mementos. Though it may not have the grace or delicacy of the original it will provide an overall better experience.

I believe Ken called it the kid brother, not the little brother. As Ken pointed out
"the Evolution breaks free from any shackles one might assume would be imposed by its driver or cabinet size.lt acts like a much bigger speaker."
Ken suggested Evolution compares to a more modern and younger Barolo. Perhaps as with all Barolos, the ultimate grace is attained with age.
