If you end up buying the 8's, after you've had a chance to get them tweaked to your room, it would be great if you could report back on your experience with them.
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.

The floorstanders have the correct cabinet volume and crossover for an optimal concentric driver design. They also occupy the same footprint as the stand mounts on stands. The standmounts are a compromise and don't really save any space when you have them on stands (same footprint as the floorstander). Get the Mofi 888 floorstander https://www.audioadvice.com/products/mofi-electronics-sourcepoint-888-floorstanding-pair-walnut or the V10 master edition and you will hit a TAD level of sound on a working man's budget. |
I did buy the 8s. After listening to the Stages for they past several years, I am quite anxious about how different a box speaker will sound, much less a dual concentric box. The stages are quite special in the same band as the 8s considering the low end roll-off. I will post a review once I get them dialed in and have a bit of time to acclimate. |
I really contemplated the 10s but came across a really good deal on a pair of 8s with stands. I have been watching both and was waiting for a good value. As for the sub integration, I have a Rythmik and an SVS 3000 Micro to play around with. The Rythmik is probably the most articulate sub out there. I use it with Vintage Ribbons today. |
