New MOFI speaker (Andrew Jones)

China” is such a gross oversimplification to use to generalize it is rediculous. 

+1 

Lower labor and possibly lower materials costs are not the same as lower quality.  Sure there are cheap inferior products and fake copies, but it is not universal.  Proper quality control monitoring avoids poor quality. General Chinese goods bashing shows lack of knowledge how the real world works. 

maybe let's not go too deep in the love of China, it's getting weird

I heard them at Capital Audiofest and they sounded quite good to me, particularly considering the price.  It delivered reasonably deep and tight bass, a nice, warm upper bass, and smooth and natural midrange.  My only negative was a touch of sibilance in the upper midrange.  This negative is common to many modern speakers, as well as some old-school concentric driver systems like those of Tannoy.  I don’t know how well they play at lower volume because they were only played at higher volume levels.  Still, a very good sounding system.

I liked how they look.  The faceted baffle looked good (functionally, they are designed to minimize diffraction issues).  The picture frame edging around the front baffle gave the speaker a nice old school touch to go with the modern look of the faceted baffle.

I would also like to add how much I appreciated Andrew Jones' representation of the Mo-Fi speaker at Capital Audiofest.  He does a terrific job of explaining the design, including engineering challenges and the compromises that are made in implementing the particular design.  He has been my favorite representative from when I first heard him at CES talking about TAD speakers about 20 years ago.  

It is a small wonder how he manages to keep his very friendly and engaging demeanor over the entirety of a long show.  He is an extraordinary trooper.
