Mofi Sourcepoint 888?


Any OWNER feedback on these?

The bookshelves were a flavor of the month a few years ago.

Like everything else, the bookshelves are coming down in price. I see these 888’s as the next bargain in a couple of years?

MoFi Electronics SourcePoint 888 Floorstanding Speakers [Pair]

At $5K...just another nice speaker. When these are blown out at close to 1/2-WIN!

What’s with that color choice for the speaker grill on the walnut finish?

Are they the $10K sleeper?

A 10/12 would get my attention.

I see these 888's being a killer deal in 3-4 years due to low sales.

Just like the AJ Elac Adante-dealers were blowing them out 1/2 price.

I have the adante series in a rig. Expensive fab/priced too low/hard to make money. It was a misunderstood hifi speaker that the avg home theater dude was picking up and putting on receivers..... large/imposing and the home theater wives complained (returned)....i.e, full potential never got realized by such dudes. Hifi brand name snobs thought the name "elac" was beneath them

Long story short, i’ll take a coupled cavity clean bass TAD for 5k prices on the blow out sale. Tech advanced HIFI misunderstandings are great for my wallet.

They look like a total steal at the current price. I would imagine a line is forming.

I think the crossover to the woofer is 120hz so it would almost be like adding a small sub to the source point 8. Might be a waste of money however if someone is already into using subs with the source point bookshelf speakers.

 

Erin’s Audio corner requested to buy a pair. I would expect to see full kipple measurements in the near future. I know this crowd “loves” measurements lol. I want both measurements and subjective opinions…. As queen says “I want it all and I want it now” lol.

Listened long at AXPONA and they did many things impressively except for the upper midrange lower treble dry, brash flavor.  Turns out to be present in the entire line.  Possibly due to the amplification but I heard what I heard.  

In the $5K range The SVS Ultra Evolution Pinnacle and Revival Audio Atatante 5 sounded better and especially more refined.  I would live with either over the SP 8888. 

Tone wise the SP8s are my favorite with more warmth and less brashness.   

The SVS had true sub bass and was one of my show favorites.

The Class D naked emperor, hifirose must have struck again (that Mofi is a distributor for). I heard it on some luscious class A/AB and it was juicy and chocolatey.
