Mofi Sourcepoint 8 made me realize I’m a critical listener

I couldn’t resist picking up the Mofi SP 8 while they were on sale to hear them myself. I have roughly 90 hours play time and they still sound veiled to me in comparison to my Dynaudio Evoke. 

Often I’ll use Steely Dan “Peg” as a reference song and it’s very difficult to hear the snare on the Mofi. I won’t dive into the whole list of songs used to evaluate equipment, but to me there is a noticeable difference in the amount of detail the Dynaudio’s provide vs the Mofi.

The purchase has lead me to discover my taste in the audio listening experience leans towards critical listening. Not so much as to take away from enjoying the music, but rather knowing the details and enjoying what the artist and producers have provided.

I’m not expecting a response to this post, I simply wanted to share my experience and journey. I’ll likely send the Mofi’s back and look to upgrade to the Dynaudio Contour series.

Happy listening and holidays.
