Looks like a smaller version of the ref one with 8" woofers rather than 10". I wonder what's the MSRP?
I like this better than the CR-1 but it seems pointless unless the price is much lower than the R1, and it could be as bass cabs are often the most expensive part of a speaker.
I went to the CR1's for the beryllium medium drive. The difference is notable. Anyway i remember the Evolutions with more bass punch. Not as articulate but more present and more easy to drive speaker.These looks like my E1 but with R1 drivers and cabinet. E1 shares R1 tweeter but smaller mid (also magnesium instead of beryllium) and bass drivers.
If ever upgrade, no immediate step but going to R1. For now, adding 2 REL G1 MK2 subs to compensate the bass.
