Lol.
I’m spending some extended time with the Mola Mola.
It is freaking amazing.
Comparing that and the Aries Cerat back to back is the only way you can see the Aries’ strengths.
The AC does a better job with micro detail. It truly brings the venue “live” with ambient noise.
That said, the Mola is just flat out fun and pleasing to listen to.
My gut says the Aries is the top dog- and Playback a very close 2nd. Mola really blows me away though - for 1/2 or 1/3 of the price of the other contenders.
All three finalists are truly “end game” pieces.
Since I haven’t sold any of the top 3- that shows how close they really are.
