Evolution Acoustics MMMicroOne
Rgs92:I wouldn't say the Harbeth's sound like the MMOnes. With my equipment, the Harbeth's had great midrange, OK bass (decent extension, but definitely rounded off - resolution of what was happening in the bass was a bit blunted), and decent, but...

I'm also on the burn-in bandwagon. I've been slowly starting to toe them in a bit, but was cautious as the treble was a little hot (in my admittedly lively room) and I was concerned about making that issue worse. I sent Jonathan a pic after toeing...

I'm not going to comment on the issues being expressed here, but am prepared to offer an early assessment of sound quality. I'm probably less than 1/4 way into the 300-hour recommended break-in period, but I can unequivocally state the MMMicroOnes... 
Evolution Acoustics MMMicroOne
Mine are set to arrive later this week. While my gear isn't inexpensive, it's not mega-buck either (iMac serving WAV files through Audirvana+; Neko Audio D100MKII DAC; Aaron No.1.a Integrated Amp). I'd be happy to post feedback after hooking them ...

Jonathan:Any updates on shipping for the MicroOnes? -Mike 
Evolution Acoustics MMMicroOne
I put down 20% of speaker cost + estimated shipping. Just to be clear, I've never been concerned about losing my deposit or legitimacy of Evolution Acoustics operation. Simply a little frustrated at the wait time. There's something to be said for ...

I placed an order for these in late January 2011 - can't believe I've been this patient. Hope they're all the reviewers say and more. Maybe the long wait is creating unrealistic expectations. Any additional delays and my enthusiasm will seriously ... 
Review: Lenehan ML-1 Monitor
I'm stateside (US) and have a pair of ML1's in Titanium Metallic - great speakers. I listened to Ficion FS200's this weekend and preferred the Lenehan's by a wide margin. Amazing considering the ML1s are half the cost of the Ficion's. I partner my... 
Integrated amplifier below 1.5K for Sonus Faber?
Auronthas: I don't consider the Nait analytical at all. Typically analytical gear spotlights detail and bleaches tonal colors. While the Nait isn't tube-like, it isn't bleached either and is surprisingly warm in terms of tone. In terms of detail, ... 
Integrated amplifier below 1.5K for Sonus Faber?
I have a Nait5i and think it's amazing. It's all about creating music vs. hi-fi. Definitely hear it before you buy any of the others! 
Owners of speakers by obscure companies chime in
I'm the proud owner of a pair of SP Tech Timepiece Mini's and I'm absolutely delighted with them. I don't have a lot of room for them, but they've proven to be very unfussy about placement. In concert with my Naim front-end and amplification (thei... 
We have a Winner -- Major "MINI" monitors
Just for the record, I'm using a Naim CD5i and Nait5i with my Mini's. Speaker cable is River Cable Flexygy 6. Enjoy!-Mike 
We have a Winner -- Major "MINI" monitors
This is all very interesting and we all have many valid points. My only point in identifying other speakers I've had is as a basis for those which I'm comparing the sound of the SP Tech's to. To my ears, the SP Techs have been the best out of the ... 
We have a Winner -- Major "MINI" monitors
I've only had my Mini's for a couple of weeks now, but I've owned at least 15 pairs of speakers over the last 20 years from the likes of Thiel, Vandersteen, JM Labs, B&W, Devore, PBN Montana, Naim, Paradigm, Joseph Audio, and on and on. I don'...
