Hi all - just wondering - the MIT site doesn't exactly spell things out and I haven't been able to find a clear-ish guide.

Obviously there are steps within each line that seem to crossover, (top of the line Shotguns seem to be higher than bottom of the line Magnums maybe?)

It seems like the more current offerings are something like - about right?

EXP
AVT
Styleline
CVT Terminator?
Matrix
Shotgun?
Magnum
Oracle

Past offerings I'm even more confused on -

Terminator
330
750
Magnum?
Oracle?

Anyone who can put them all in a general order (notwithstanding levels within a line that is)

Thanks!

    ^^ LOL ^^ that works, and it's pretty much how I came up with that list above.

    But it gets cloudy fast when you're stepping into legacy/used products, and different lengths, bi-wire or not, just wondering if there's a general road map to follow!

    The order you have is about right. EXP series had no network boxes, then come the AVT1 and AVT2 and AVT3 line. It seems the Styleline is the current version of the old AVT line. Not that familiar with the Matrix line and I think the CVT was a throw back to the earlier days and while in the same ballpark as the Shotguns, they were voiced a bit different. Then Magnum, then Oracle.

    Not sure you can pigeon hole each line-up as there is some cross-over. IIRC the CVT line was priced about the same as the Shotgun line, but had two slightly different sounds.

Why are we looking to reduce a subjective experience to objective criteria anyway? The subtleties of music and audio reproduction are for those who appreciate it.

    MIT makes two lines. One is sold online and the other in stores. You can check their site to see which is which and also the hierarchy.
