Mofi Sourcepoint 888?

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.

That’s not so good! What were they driven with, @avanti1960 ?

@deep_333 , I still want to hear them with some good class A/B gear. 

@patrickdowns

As deep mentioned, the HiFi Rose Integrated RA180.

Definitely listen with another amp before you buy.  

I can hear the issue with this video- listen with a good set of headphones.

That being said the SVS Ultra Evolution Pinnacles were being driven by an Emotiva XPA-2 Gen3 (only $1300) and sounded smooth, unfatiguing and powerful !
