New MOFI speaker (Andrew Jones)
Here is some info on the new MOFI/Jones speaker:
If you buy the stands and speakers as a package, I believe they get discounted to around $299. Also, there's a thread over at ASR (I know, I know) from two members who're trying out a pair and they have a very positive take on them. Learning of the measurements later only confirmed their findings. They seem to be very finicky with placement. All the best, |
@nonoise , I'm tempted too and I have no reason to be buying any more loudspeakers! Like others, I've met AJ a few times at Axpona. He's such a sweetheart of a person, charming and passionate. He's definitely got the golden touch. I couldn't care any less how these things measure. I bet they sound superb. What a great time to be in this hobby. Could we get this value 20 years ago? |
@jbhiller , I couldn't agree more with your take on this. The one time I met AJ he was gracious with his time and great to talk to. As for measurements, I'm of the same mind with you. As for what we could get 20 years ago, I feel it's no contest due to new tech, modeling and computer analysis that gives designers a leg up on what is possible. This truly is a great time to be in this hobby. All the best,

Ha ha! Same here. Sort of. I have enjoyed some of the new vogue for old school wider baffle/bigger driver speakers (as my Devore thread attests to). So these speakers got my interest. And of course all the hype combined with the price. I need another speaker like a hole in the head, but ya-never-know so I gave them a listen. But I admit I had pretty much ruled them out the moment I saw them. Aesthetically they just wouldn't work in my room (which has some unusual demands for placement). It's still possible if I was totally blown away I may have bought a pair to throw in the system once in a while. I'll be hearing them again at some point out of curiosity. |
