Sourcepoint 8 or Sourcepoint 10?
Hello All - I am going to have to replace my Apogee Stages at some point and I am considering the MoFi Sourcepoint Speakers - 8s or 10s. I know that they are going to be very different than my current speakers but I want something that can be listened to more casually (not always in the sweet spot), and I like a warmer big sound. My listening area is about 14 by 16 with 9ft ceilings and the back of the listening area opens to the dining room area that is another 14 x 16. I can place the speakers up to 3 ft out from the wall. I also like listening to music in the late evening at lower levels. In addition, I have a Rythmik subwoofer that can stay and could add a second if needed to calm room misbehavior. Asking for thoughts or experience with these speakers.
BTW - My digital chain runs through a Denafrips Venus II 12th and my Analog is an older Linn Sondek LP12 with Ittok LV !! (Black) Arm and Ortofon MC X40 into a Linn Linto phono stage.
@gkelly, I’ve seen two sources quoting Andrew saying he continues with Mo-Fi; so the new company is an additional effort. That alone suggests the new model will be priced higher. But all that also questions what he could do for Mo-Fi at this point if he is selling a "next" model in his design line up? |
@pryso one could wager that mofi is a silent 🔇 partner. Need venture capital somewhere. |
We will know much more this week when the speaker is introduced formally at Axpona 26. If it is a premium cost, then he may continue to help MoFi develop more of the value based speakers. Due to the design, it would be in the space of the V10. If it is priced in that same $8k range it will be interesting. |
Well - The listing you linked to was too good to pass up. The price for the SourcePoint 8s was good on it's own. The parts upgrade from GR Research is $680 and the stands are $400. The original crossovers will be included if I decide to change them back to original. The mods by GR Research were simply an upgrade of the original parts at the same values. Air core inductors, Sonicaps, internal wires, binding posts, etc.. The YouTube video has Danny at GR stating how perfect the original x-over design was implimented. The purchase also includes a custom pair (bespoke was the term used) of 10' speaker cables. Not that I need them. Thanks again for the link. |
