FRO...I see a Boulder piece in your rack above the SR Tesla powercell and below the Oppo but no listing of it in your system description. Is it the 1012 DAC/Preamp? Is it still in system as a pre only with the Esoteric taking over DAC duties or has it been replaced altogether with the D2? Thx
 
Superb speakers! Those are the ones I heard when demoing the darTZeel monoblocs and EMC TT/PBD MPD5.

Live sounding rig!!!!

I also heard the Micros and was shocked by the bass from that tiny pair of speakers.
 
Thanks, guys!
I have replaced the Boulder 1012 DA/Preamp with the Esoteric D-02, since I sell Esoteric gear now.
The D-02 is being used as my DA/Preamp and is hooked up directly to the Pass amps.
Those Evolution Acoustic speakers are about 70" tall and weigh approx. 600 lbs each!
They are constructed of 1000 layers of Baltic Birch veneers, and house a 1000watt sub amp in each speaker.

The EA Micros are set up in a nearfield position on stands in my office.
Quite frankly, they have the best imaging and soundstage of ANY speaker I have heard.
They are simply incredible!!
 
FRO...what is the current pricing on the MMMicro Ones. I remember when JT announced introductory pricing, it was $2,500 a few years ago. Do you know current list? Thx
 
I think they run between $2500-$3000 with the stands.
I lucked out and found a like new pair for $2000.
Think I listen to them more than the main system!
 
Updated photo showing new Ayre MXR monoblock amps and Mac-Mini music server - System never sounded better!!!

Congrats! What a beautiful system. Ayre monos! Wow!!! You must be rocking. Do you prefer the Ayre over the Pass? How do they differ?

Thanks for sharing.
 
I did the MXR and Mac-mini additions at the same time, so kind of hard to tell what made the biggest improvement.
All I know is I am getting a lot better imaging and soundstage.
I liked the XA160.5 amps too, but they ran hot and did not image as well as the MXR amps.
Thanks!
