New MOFI speaker (Andrew Jones)

Wow, some snowflakes in here.

it has taken me 35 years to get where I’m at' stereo wise, 

such a,massive difference from YouTube with computer speakers, to a nice pair of Snell powered by a B&K amp, fed by a sony ES, or an Acurus acd-11 with even simple rca’s. The difference is mind blowing, and when you get a nice pair of speakers, and you walk into your den, while the computer speakers are playing YouTube, then walk back into,your family,room, and feel the music surround you, then you will know why we audition, tweak, poke, prod, cables, components, etc.

it’s a hobby, like anything, I have hair down past middle of my back. Always look rather,scruffy, as construction jobs don’t require high n tight cuts etc. 

im not a junky, don’t gamble, not too violent, don’t drink,excessively, maybe a weekend warrior at times, put down 30 pack in a day n a half at times, never have I hit a woman or raised a hand to any woman.

point is we like music, love to shop, audition audio, I’ll call the wife at lunch time, on thursdays or fridays, tell her please take the covers off of Flotsam & Jetsam (names of my amps) switch em on, she turns on the disc player and preamp, to be nice and warm when I get home on Friday, to sit back and relax to Kreator, Or stratovarius, Hirax, or maybe humble pie, or max Webster, Lillian axe, whatever.

final point: most of us are good people, men need a vice, ours is audio, music, few drams, friends, wine, whatever. That is the highlight of my day, home from work, clean up, slippers, swishy pants, pop in disc, or iPod , , press play and relax to some Motörhead, UFO, forbidden, dark Angel.

puts me in down mode, and I feel better, don’t get onry, I’m relaxed.

you all get it.

let the chickens run around pecking all they can, us eagles will soar high and look down upon the weak

"such a,massive difference from YouTube with computer speakers"

there is a massive difference. To you.

I talked about the joy of listening - which I am perfectly capable of from cheap sources and speakers.

Of course I enjoy the details, the soundstage, lows and highs from a well thought-out system. Of course if I had won the lottery, I would upgrade.

It sounds like many of you here are convinced that any component under $4500 is not high end and the listening experience from cheaper systems cannot be compared to yours.

It’s so subjective it seems impossible to argue, but I am pretty sure I disagree :)

I was thinking of trying out the new MoFi speakers but bought another acoustic guitar instead. It sounds like live music (only when played, otherwise it's fairly quiet). 

I appreciate the contemporary slightly retro look compared to the Tannoy's bur still think they missed the mark on the styling. 

I understand the front baffle shape but where it merges with the edges of the enclosure looks abrupt and clumsily integrated.  

a smooth, blended continuous shape would have looked so much better or at least flush with the enclosure walls.  

also better selection of finishes and grille colors would have really put it over the top.  

Looks like Stereophile will be giving a review shortly. John Atkinson, while reviewing another product made mention of it.
