How would you rate both against each other in terms of an overall percentage?
Thanks.

It's difficult to say whether it is an issue of sound quality or sound signature. I think the sound signature of the MM is more refined and easy to listen to, along with being more relaxed and not in your face.
In Head-fi terms, the difference may be "great", but in reality, if I didn't compare the two side by side, I would have a difficult time pointing out specific differences between the two crossovers. The difference isn't dramatic as, say going from Vmoda Vibes to Super.fi 5 Pro, where you can really tell that the Vibes have too much bass
. I can't really point a percentage on the difference because it may just be a preference of mine. But if you really want to know how I feel about the sound, then I would say that the MM is 100% and the ML is 91%
I'd recommend the MM to anyone because I think in the long run, people would be less fatigued with the MM.
Also, if you read my review, I mostly mentioned that the bass on the FreQ Shows is similar to the SuperFreQs, and in the past, I've said that the bass on the SuperFreQs is a bit too much. However, I find that the more balanced sound of the MM somehow makes the bass more bearable. For example, with the MM, cellos have their deep bassy character, but it isn't overwhelming as with the ML.
