New MOFI speaker (Andrew Jones)

@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,
Nonoise

I'm tempted too and I have no reason to be buying any more loudspeakers!

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.

Hey @ prof, I do get the aesthetic thing. I personally like them but they are a tougher sell for a non-dedicated listening space. I'm off to check out your Devore thread. 

Read the review in Stereophile, I’m not that impressed by the review.  Seems to be targeted to the lower end of the market. It’s has a lot of limitations as you’d expect at that price point but still would be interesting to hear. My impressions.

Let the lower end of the market eat cake!
