Appreciate the suggestions, but I'm only interested in the two I mentioned in the post.
Mofi Sourcepoint 8 vs. KEF R3 Meta
I'm considering one of these two critically praised speakers for my 21' x 14' room. I'll pair them with a Rythmik F12 subwoofer to cover the lower frequencies. I don't have access to a local retailer to compare them side-by-side, so I'm posting here to see if anyone has listened to both and can offer their opinion, or observations.

kofibaffour: Thanks for the insights. It's my understanding the 888s are based on the SP 8s, so I'd imagine they share a lot of the same tone, dynamics and SQ. Pairing the SP 8s with a good subwoofer might be a less expensive way to enjoy near-888 goodness. |
@output555 yes if you manage to use sound physics based, measurement/listening led integration of subwoofer. you'd be getting the 888 sound generally.

If you have 8k, get the mofi v10 master ed., and you can have some inkling of a tad reference. https://www.crutchfield.com/p_700SPV10WN/MoFi-SourcePoint-V10-Walnut.html But, here we are talking about some kef matchbox, sitting on a toothpick stand. Power cable = huge, amp = huge, dac box = enormous, preamp box = uuuge ...everything should be huge except for the speaker in just another bassackward hifi episode. The best sound you'll ever hear in life will always come out of a larger speaker. |
