New MOFI speaker (Andrew Jones)

I’m sure these Andrew Jones designed speaks sound good.

But..., are they this moments Elac Adante?

Not too far back, this AD designed line was flavor of the moment, by reviewers and users. Then not too long after-price dump by retailers 50%.

Years ago, I attended AVS forum meeting at Pioneer HQ in Long Beach Cal, which AD hosted, and he promoted a Best Buy value level line that did sound great. The most impressive thing was hearing the TV soundbar while in Pioneer’s sound room. It was as convincing as a pair of audiophool speakers-admittedly embarrassing!

This was the same place that boxes of mega dollar TAD speakers are warehoused. There were staked rows of them.

A reminder also that a pro sound room make a HUGE impact on even cheap speakers.

If they follow history, I’ll grab a pair for $1500 in 3-5 years.

thanks @mapman ! if only they were ferns :)

I too heard then at CAF yesterday and was really impressed.  I prepare myself to be utterly disappointed by the latest hyped speaker but it was really good.  I'll reiterate what others have said - at $3.7k I have not heard anything at twice the price that would be real competition even in the compromised hotel room show setting.  The coherence and imaging were frankly spooky good and at this price point unheard of.  My wife wanted to take the speakers... and possibly Andrew home as he is a delight to speak with.  We have been looking for a logical replacement for our Reference 3A speakers in our downstairs den system and my wife most likely made that decision yesterday.
