"I’ll just conclude by writing that if you own a Hana ML and wondering if dropping 3X the ML’s pricetag gives you 3X the sonic glory, the answer is a qualified yes...There’s a reason the Umami, despite the considerable price, has been a great success for Excel Corporation and American Importer Musical Surroundings."(Michael Fremer)
