New MOFI speaker (Andrew Jones)

re Lintons: they sounded bad with my system

At this show.  

 I HEARD THEM AT CAF and it’s $3699 and nothing under 10 k can touch them and only a few speakers under 20k can beat them.

’giant killer’

’at $3,699 msrp, nothing under 10k can touch them... few under 20k’

a-j is a very talented designer, no doubt this standmount sounds quite good

but fellas, can we not lose our heads and try keep the spin cycle in check? after a cursory listen at a show?

enthusiasm and passion in our hobby is very welcome, especially for well performing modestly priced products, but over the top, unrealistic touts deserve the eyerolls they undoubtedly will engender -- not being a kill-joy here, let’s please just keep it real, building a bridge too far serves no one...

for instance, off top of head example, you bring those, i bring a set of maggie 1.7i... we will see who be david and who goliath? you get my drift...

The amps they used delivered all the goods.  A perfectly fine choice IMHO. 

I would face them off against anything else I heard at the show in a similar size room ie modest size hotel room. Obviously the bigger products are needed for the larger ball and meeting rooms. The Atmasphere class d amps for less than 6k delivered some of the best sound in the show with the big Classic Audios in their ballroom home imho. This business about you gotta have way more expensive gear to get the best is nonsense at least these days. Maybe in the past where a show like this is still firmly rooted.
