New MOFI speaker (Andrew Jones)


Here is some info on the new MOFI/Jones speaker:

This is not an expensive speaker so there has to be some compromises on parts quality.  But, I heard the speaker and it sounds quite good to me and I think it is quite nice looking to boot. Unless one has heard it and seen it, I don’t see how one can be very critical.

First, to answer your question Friend, it measured very well. Extremely well. 

I don't normally even read the measurements section as to loudspeakers so I had to go back and read it to answer your question. What most impresses ME is that the rated sensitivity, low-end frequency response and impedance were spot-on as was mirror imaging (driver matching) between the loudspeakers. Cabinet resonance was very well controlled which means nothing to me. The measured FR was ever so slightly tipped up but JA did not find then to be bright in his [weird] room. For some reason JA did not seem to measure dispersion characteristics or even discuss them to any degree in his listening impressions. Overall, assuming that they were not cherry-picked samples this indicates very fine QC and his listening impressions certainly indicated very high value-they played loud without break-up or strain. I say this without a scintilla of personal buying interest. Would never happen. 

Thanks very much fsonicsmith!

Ultimately I buy on what I hear, but I do find it interesting to see how a speaker measures.  It's interesting to find some correlation between what I hear (or a reviewer hears) and the measurements.
