New MOFI speaker (Andrew Jones)

@jbhiller 

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!

Panzr- and Kloss did all his great work w/ a microphone, oscilloscope & his eyes & eyes. No computers, no real high tech materials, no exotic cabinetry. For folks who never heard heard a properly set up stacked pair, grill cloths removed, w/ a good, powerful amp & good source, you would be surprised just how good they could sound. That was maybe $500 for 4 Advents in 1974 ( walnut cabs) so today maybe $4K? Other than a more extended, open high end, they would compete w/ & beat many offerings today & easily in the bass.
