Anyone heard the new Mofi V10 Master Edition at Axpona?


This was easily one of the best in show...

It is not about just checking off some speaker design line items. This may be the first instance of an engineer of his caliber getting connected in the chain to the mastering apparatus (artist intent, etc), for example, have a better assessment on how the voicing should be done and so on. I believe he has gotten into it in some interviews.

Previously, it would be that some guys at Yamaha would say....hey, here’s how our instruments sound and this is how our current flagship speaker sounds...decide for yourself.

PS audio might be another new example with octave studios, etc.

Nevertheless, such scenarios have been quite rare in hifi and the more it happens, the better for the hifi consumer, I would say.

i am sure some competitor associated personnel would attempt some mud slinging...let their own insecurities shine through from time to time, such is life

Hmm I think you get a lot of very good speaker for the price in general with Mofi. 
 

Size matters with speakers.   The more of a good thing the better in general.

 

Also a sourcepoint matters when it comes to coherency of sound. 
 

Mofi gives you both that many others do not.  That’s a fairly unique combo in my mind. 

I’d bet that there are many near full-range speakers that sell at multiples of the V10 that don’t have near the innovative design, custom drivers, or overall expertise that went into this speaker.  Whether you like them or not is a personal matter, but for what’s on offer here in totality seems formidable, and I’d have a hard time finding something else that offers all this at this price level.  The Usher ML-802 comes to mind, but even that’s around $15k. 

@dayglow lol your pain is showing in this comment. I've heard most Borresen speakers and granted some of the it is down to the horrendous music used at shows, I heard the X3 last year at AXPONA and if that was the speaker being touted here, I'm glad it that honeymoon was cut short. It's a mediocre speaker and an insult for how much they're selling it so yeah actual speakers that sound good and don't cost that much will obviously be praised. That's not shocking

@kofibaffour   Thx for taking time to reply. I have never recommended or praised the Borresen X line of loudspeakers, review several of my previous posts regarding the X3. My point was hype convinced many here on Agon what a giant killer the X3 was even with some not even hearing the X3. Then a measurement reviewer points out how flawed the speaker is and even the most pompous fanboys are silent. I have not heard the new coffin sized MoFi offering but the others 888/10 and 8 have not impressed me to any level of praise.

@dayglow  what speakers do you have? What's your setup like? Are you too shy to tell anyone about it? 

Don't worry and tell us about this high pedestal of yours, i'll be nice. I won't laugh all the way to China town, I promise.
