New MOFI speaker (Andrew Jones)

Again with the stands....

The Linton stands (which I have) will work perfectly with them. And if needed, a set of Iso Pucks would raise them 1.2" or something else as a footer. That would put the center of the Sourcepoint 10 just below the plane of my ears, 8' feet away. 

All the best,

I heard them today at CAF. They sounded like the real deal! One of just a few things I heard today that I would consider owning. Big clean sound. Sounded way better than many other much bigger and expensive setups in many rooms. The price surprised me pleasantly. 

@grislybutter thanks for the comparisons. I note that it is more akin to the JBL L100 Classic which is 15.38"W x 25.06"H x 14.63"D, and JBL of course offers their custom stands for $330. I too thought it almost comical looking on those Solidsteel SS-7 stands, like an accident waiting to happen. 

It will be interesting to see more of any custom stands that MoFi makes available for them and what they retail for...Not sure why Andrew was so vague in talking about that. 

They are not "bookshelf" speakers at all, but perhaps should be called "Stand Mount". 

The thing is, as good as they are, to get that lowest octave (if you want it) you'll still need a subwoofer. Guess some genres of music can get by fine without it. 

P.S. Why did you get rid of your Linton? Thanks. 

 

@moonwatcher If you watch (YouTube video) Steve Gutenberg (The Audiophiliac) he says stands are coming later for the MoFi Electronics SourcePoint 10. He said the Solid Steel Stands are temporary until the NEW stands for them come out. The size I don't think would bother me, personally, as long as, I like the sound quality. I have AJ's Elac Adante AS-61 stand mount speakers and they're not as big but close and they sound amazing so I'm really curious about this NEW design.

@travisg he seemed impressed. Perhaps he didn't want to come across as a "cheerleader" given his friendship with Andrew. Then again, he has been living with those "new reference" open baffle speakers for a bit now, and maybe he's finding it harder to get excited about a "box" speaker now. Of course, as he notes, those open baffle speakers he has sell for nearly double the cost of the Sourcepoint 10. 

To me the most obvious comparison would be with the JBL L100 Classic. They are very similarly sized, similar efficiency, similar power handling, similar frequency response, and now (thanks to the current sale price of the L100) similar in price.
