Questioning Interest In MoFi Speakers


Included on my list for potential new speakers are the Andrew Jones designed Source Point 888. However I just looked at the MoFi site and see both the SP 8 and SP 10 are being offered at discounts. Both models generated quite a bit of interest when introduced not that long ago. So why discount relatively new speakers?
     Was there limited interest and now sales dried up?
     Have owners reported dissatisfaction which killed new sales?
     Is there simply too much competition at the original prices?

Discounting any nearly new speaker gives cause to wonder about other models from that company So now I'm wondering if further interest in the 888 makes sense?  Particularly if owners quickly become dissatisfied.

Whichever speaker I decide on will need to be purchased with a return option since none are offered at my singular local dealer.

All their R&D costs was literally one speaker savant guy on the payroll. They've already made their money several folds. A discount for the weak wallets at this time is the hifi-humanitarian thing to do.

Audio gear is just another consumer item.

Initial buzz is done, inventories probably high.

Great time to buy. Wait a little longer for the floorstander being discounted.

Elac Adante was blown out at great prices- you just needed  the room for them

 

Thanks @viridian, best comment I’ve read in a while smiley

Their process was, albeit unintentionally, their greatest contribution to this hobby. I can still taste the schadenfreude. 

19% discount on a 2 years on the market speaker doesn’t seem all that severe...many of his Elac speakers were offered at discount after a few years and are still selling briskly...I imagine same will happen on 888 in a few years...doesn’t mean owners are dissatisfied , maybe just some pre holiday marketing...my friends who own the source point speakers quite love them...
