It is not about just checking off some speaker design line items. This may be the first instance of an engineer of his caliber getting connected in the chain to the mastering apparatus (artist intent, etc), for example, have a better assessment on how the voicing should be done and so on. I believe he has gotten into it in some interviews.
Previously, it would be that some guys at Yamaha would say....hey, here’s how our instruments sound and this is how our current flagship speaker sounds...decide for yourself.
PS audio might be another new example with octave studios, etc.
Nevertheless, such scenarios have been quite rare in hifi and the more it happens, the better for the hifi consumer, I would say.
i am sure some competitor associated personnel would attempt some mud slinging...let their own insecurities shine through from time to time, such is life
Hmm I think you get a lot of very good speaker for the price in general with Mofi.
Size matters with speakers. The more of a good thing the better in general.
Also a sourcepoint matters when it comes to coherency of sound.
Mofi gives you both that many others do not. That’s a fairly unique combo in my mind.
