New MOFI speaker (Andrew Jones)

I heard the new speaker at CAF.  Bass was tight and punchy.  I did think the highs could sometimes be a bit much.  I don't want to say bright but some of what I heard edged into that territory.  Perhaps it was the recording or the associated equipment.  I did hear another speaker using a concentric driver which didn't sound like this.  Of course that was with different electronics but I thought it sounded much better than the SP 10.  It also costs more than double the price.  

It was the Heretic AD612.  What a difference.  I don't like using the term "musical" when describing a speaker's sound but it truly fits.  But this speaker is much more expensive than the SP 10 so it's not really fair.

@grislybutter:  According to the MoFi guys I spoke to at CAF last weekend the speakers won’t be available until next month.  None of their dealers have received their first deliveries of stock yet.

I’ve heard both speakers.  In both instances I was at shows so not ideal listening environments. I heard the Razz speakers at the NYC  audio show this past September and the Source Point 10 speakers 10 days ago.  Based strictly on those experiences I’d choose the Volti speakers.  To my ears they treat the mids and highs more gently than do the SP 10.  I think the Razz provides more of a warmish natural sound than the SP10.  Bass is outstanding on both.  Of course, different rooms, electronics and recordings.  Perhaps if I’d heard the SP 10s with the same 300b amp I’d feel differently.  

Copied from an email I received from MoFi regarding the SP 10 stands:

"Hi Gary, thanks for your email and sorry for the delayed response! That is correct – we will offer the matching stands and they are expected to ship in January. They will be $500 for the pair, and are a four pillar stand. We don’t have pictures available of the final design right now, but samples can be seen in the coverage from Capital Audio fest.

 We will also offer a discounted bundle package of the speakers and stands for a total of $3,999 (effectively $200 off). For anybody that is buying the speakers now, we will grandfather in the discount price on the stands when they become available. An alternative we are recommending are the 20-inch Pangea stands which retail for $249."

The MoFi Sourcepoint 8 is now available for order.  $3000.00 plus $250.00 for the stands, if you want them.
