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.

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.

@output555 lol welcome to Audiogon forums. people don't like to read. Just like to waffle on endlessly
