I heard the Zu DWX speakers at Axpona being used to reveal differences in Audioquest cables which they did a good job of so in terms of detail and soundstage they were very good. However, I had the Zu Dirty Weekend floorstanders and felt they were very thin and uninvolving. I haven't heard the Sourcepoint 8's yet but the Sourcepoint 10's are a great speaker for my tastes. My guess is those two speakers will sound quite different and you would need to hear them for yourself to really know which you prefer.
Mofi Sourcepoint 8 vs. Zu Audio Dirty Weekend X
Hoping for some insight for those that may have experience with the Sourcepoint 10 or Dirty Weekend 6. Also open to other suggestions as well!
I have a non negotiable off axis listening area and need to find speakers I can place on actual bookshelf close to back wall (can’t place on floor) so looking at the DWX or MoFi Sourcepoint 8 for sideways placement. Shelf height is 15" and Depth is 14" so limited in options and need something I can place close to back wall as well wether it is foam plugs in ports if needed. I understand I wont get imaging/soundstage with this set up so goal is to get best sound possible with secondary goal of improvement of low volume listening.
Wondering if anyone has any thoughts on which of these two might be more ideal for my placement and room. (DWX or Mofi SP8) Room is 15 x 20 and looking for speaker that are good for off axis (no triangle seating position)
I know the SP8 and DWX is not out "officially yet" outside of yesterday’s Guttenburg review but anyone who has heard the SP 10 vs. DW6 perhaps would have insight that can guide me.
Another option is Dynaudio Sp40 with a sub but thinking dual concentric speaker or speaker that can placed on side and larger driver 8" or 10" vs 6.5" will carry my room/setup better even though I like the Dynaudio sound. Im selling my X34 floor standers.
I will select amplification once I finalize speaker choice. Curious to insights and open to other ideas well.
