Evolution Acoustics MMMicroOne speakers and Playback Designs MPS-3 player at CES
Jeff (Tonepub)...I read your blog on these guys from The Show and would appreciate if you could give us more feedback on this room at CES. Ivan/Emile...I am assuming you guys did not happen to visit the Evolution Acoustics/Dartzeel/Playback Designs room at The Show, but if you did, please chime in. Here is the link to Jeff's blog on this room from Tone Audio's website: Best sound at T.H.E. Show – Blog | TONEAudio MAGAZINE
And here's a pic from that blog from Tone Audio which shows the set-up: The thing that caught my eye is the speakers go for only $2K and are finished to the same standard as their other much more expensive speakers. The stands add another $500. Here's a pic from the Evolution Acoustics website that shows the fit and finish a bit better: A link to their web site with description of the speakers with specs: Evolution Acoustics MMMicroOne Last edited by cmalak; 01-12-2011 at 06:55 PM. |

Nobody is surprised by the $2K price on these speakers? They got best of show comments from Jeff at Tone Audio and Robert Harley at TAS. Fit and finish looks top notch.

That looks like a similar set-up to that which I saw in Room 1117 at RMAF. Sounded pretty good there too.

You know what - I think I walked by that room, I recall the look of the speakers; however I was more interested in fullsize/range speakers this year, so I kinda bypassed it.
Those speakers look swankier than the $2k they are asking for them. With that comment alone, I would say you get good value, even if they don't sound that great (especially if you have WAF requirements).

E...I agree. I am going to see if I can arrange a demo locally (although I am pretty sure there aren't any Evolution Acoustics dealers in the greater Boston area). We'll see.

Are you sure they are only $2k? The rest of their line up is pretty expensive...

Positive. Check out the link at Tone Audio. Also, here's a link to Robert Harley's blog on them from TAS which also mentions the price: Robert Harley's Best of CES | AVguide
You can see his commentary in the second half of the blog "Best Sound (for the lowest price)" |

The room doesn't look familiar to me, then again I had my roller skates on.
