Mofi Sourcepoint 8 vs. KEF R3 Meta

@output555 & actually when the wife was wanting me to switch back to bookshelves in the living room I as well was contemplating between the R3 Meta's & the Mofi 8's. I went with the KEF's due to what I perceived would be easier placement. I felt that the 8's would need to be more out into the room. The KEF's were my first coaxial driver design. And there is a difference vs more conventional speakers in my opinion. I found the KEF's to disappear very easily..very large center image. Just overall it was a little different than what I was used to. 

Regarding "high frequency energy" with teh KEFs, be sure to check out the measured dispersion patterns of each model.  Erin’s Audio Corner on youtube provides that info for several models and I have found that very useful to help understand the design and get things set up well.

ALso worth noting that at least with ls50s, kef provides very specific setup directions that takes the speaker’s dispersion into account, so be sure to follow the directions for best results.

Mofi. Bigger drivers are more effortless. Plus you get a coaxial tweeter just like the Kef''s. 

Hmmmmm, neither in my mind. At least look at the below, all a bit more audiophile quality:

Revival Atalante 3 $2,800 a pair

Philharmonic BMR $2,300 a pair

Fritz Speakers Carbon 7 SE MkII $2,800 a pair

Gotta wonder why some folks are compelled to recommend other speakers despite not being asked--and ignoring the request to stop.
