Thoughts: Mofi Sourcepoint 888 vs Fyne Audio 501sp?

I think I’ll need more options, lol. For me this would be an endgame speaker. I have a chance to get a lightly used pair (501sp) for almost half price but too many not great reviews. Yes, I should listen to them in person (and will when I can) but you’d think a 5k speaker basically knocks it out of the park! And this if for both the Mofi 888 and Fyne 501sp: polarizing speakers it would seem.

Someone also made a good point, with both these speakers, especially the Mofi, it might be wise to wait for the mkII or mkIII as they iron out the dual concentric design from a smaller speaker… just a thought.

And another thing- agree with the internet wasteland- almost every one of these folks review everything glowingly, to sell more product and get more clicks! How can every speaker be so 🤩 ugh

if it's an endgame speaker, I would certainly extend the search. Lots of good value speakers especially for medium size rooms

For more options: KEF R series meta, Revel Performa Be 226, Neumann KH120ii or 150, Genelec (not sure of model).

plenty of good speakers out there, but MOFI is a got busted and sued and lost: they conned conned their most loyal buyers on some digitally sourced records they asserted were 100% analog.

You wanted 100% pure analog? ... They should have got a 50 year old master tape (museum piece) from the vault and beat it to death, thereby, killing that long gone artist’s legacy.... so you could have your pristine 100% analog on spinning plastic. You are so special & extremely deserving, but, Mofi just didn’t understand how extremely special/entitled/deserving you are and what your demands were.

Funny thing...it was the best sounding vinyl you ever heard...but, as soon as you found out that digital got involved, it stopped sounding good instantaneously.
