New MOFI speaker (Andrew Jones)

+1 @nonoise 

At Capital Audiofest, Mr. Jones mentioned how he interacts with the MoFi crew and said that they like to exchange friendly barbs.  i thought of suggesting that he should tell them that he got a lot of offers to trade One-Step collections for the new speaker but never brought that up.

All i could think of when watching this video is, Tannoy's been doing this for half a century. let alone others.   why is this so special?

It's only special if its sound proves to be considered superior to the Arden or other similar designs to listeners over a period of time. For now, I think that the reason for the excitement is that the driver was designed form the ground up by a well-known and respected speaker designer

why is this so special?

it may well not be special... but it is new, from a well known, well liked, respected designer, thus worthy of evaluation and spreading the word around, so to speak

but we are all wise to note the distinction between 'new' and 'special'.... time needs to pass for something to be deemed ’special’
