New MOFI speaker (Andrew Jones)


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

 

128x128mofimadness

I am about a month in with mine.  Amp is the the Allnic 30th Anniversary T2000 with KT170 tubes.  I am still waiting on the stands.  Dealer was told end of January or into February.  I currently have them on some loaner Wharfedale stands 

I have had Golden Ear Reference, Tekton Encores, Martin Logan Montis, Wilson Yvettes and some B&W's as a reference.

These were really supposed to be temporary speakers in one system while I am waiting for a pair of Janszen 9.5s to be built (I am anticipating May/June).  I would then move them into a secondary system.

I listened to some Klipsch Forte's and Cornwalls at my dealer and did not connect with either one and I liked these immediately in the dealer's space.  I was really looking for some sort of speaker/dollar formula when making the purchase.

Looking at them as the $3700 speakers they are, I am pleased with the purchase.  Imaging is really good and the soundstage is well defined.  I have not tried them on their sides yet (waiting for the real stands).  Bass is actually fairly full for a 10" driver and I do not find the treble bright which could be the KT170s helping.  To my 55 year old ears, I preferred the sound over the 6K Cornwalls.

They are probably a little big to be a set of bookshelf speakers.

My listening habits are mostly classic rock and acoustic rock (which these are good at) and some classical (not as good.)

 

 

@gimmer I will echo lak in thanking you for sharing this information.  I have been interested in this speaker from the get go, but just a bit leery as all the initial hype has been from spin doctors and not actual users.

I wrote on this thread that I own The Mofi Sourcepoint 10's. They sound fantastic. It amazes me that people endorse or criticize them if they did not hear them. It is hard to believe speakers at any cost can sound this good. Maybe it is because Andrew Jones developed speakers that have sound coming from one point, and not several drivers trying to correctly blend sound before it hits the ears.

A lot of high end audio is hype, and a lot of people listen to reviews and buy into the hype.  I heard the Mofi's at the Capital Audio Show and they blew me away. Before passing judgement, wait until you hear them from a dealer or from someone who bought them. They are dynamic and live sounding as hell. I think the Sourcepoint 10's are game changers, and are a threat to high end audio. 

 

The SourcePoint 10 review (and measurements) is up on the Stereophile site now.
