Mofi Sourcepoint 888?
Any OWNER feedback on these?
The bookshelves were a flavor of the month a few years ago.
Like everything else, the bookshelves are coming down in price. I see these 888’s as the next bargain in a couple of years?

At $5K...just another nice speaker. When these are blown out at close to 1/2-WIN!
What’s with that color choice for the speaker grill on the walnut finish?
Are they the $10K sleeper?
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.

It is NOT midrange glare...this speaker can throw an unusual amount of midrange detail at you for this price (not fake detail), the likes of which you only start to hear in pricier TADs, etc... i.e. the type of speaker that starts to reveal the goofiness of Class D naked emperors. In other words, go with meatheaded class A/AB for this speaker. I heard it with older big Levinsons. Many lackluster manufacturers with lackluster drivers use the oldest trick in the book to fool the hifi enthusiast into thinking that their speaker is very detailed! (just tilt the top end up a bit, and the dude will think his speaker is detailed, whoop di doo). The Class D naked emperors might stay unexposed when such trickery is deployed. This speaker is not one of those "fake detail" speakers. IMO, even the bookshelf speaker should have been a 3 way "larger" bookshelf with an additional bass driver (88 not 8)...
