New MOFI speaker (Andrew Jones)

So I am one of the "influenced" who bought a pair of the SB10s.  They are for a secondary system which is driven by an Allnic T2000 Integrated with KT170s.  I had some other speakers that sold faster than anticipated and needed something to fill the spot without breaking the bank.

I had demoed at my local dealer a number of Klipsch and Harbeth speakers and none of them had the sound that I was looking for.  I am not a listener who uses Diana Krall and Melody Gardot as my ultimate test tracks and I don't just sit in a single spot 8.36 feet away both speakers for hours on end with my eyes closed.))

The dealer was powering the SP10s with a Line Magnetic 845IA and I thought they sounded fuller than the Forte IVs, with a very clear soundstage and pinpoint imaging.  The bass was actually a little lacking for my taste,  They were about six feet from the wall and when we moved them closer to the front wall the bass really picked up.  The build quality was also better than expected.

It would be interesting to try them with a high power class D integrated amp like a Michi or T+A PA1100E, but for now they are serving their purpose.  

I think the comments from @prof are accurate.  I am about a week in and the highs are not causing any issue (which I have had from Golden Ears as an example).  They are sitting on Wharfdale stands while waiting for the MoFi stands to arrive.

Everyone, please enjoy Christmas or whatever you celebrate with your friends and family.  In my case it is dogs - while watching Raphie in a Christmas Story.  Have to love the "Old Man."

I am about a month in with mine.  Amp is the the Allnic 30th Anniversary T2000 with KT170 tubes.  I am still waiting on the stands.  Dealer was told end of January or into February.  I currently have them on some loaner Wharfedale stands 

I have had Golden Ear Reference, Tekton Encores, Martin Logan Montis, Wilson Yvettes and some B&W's as a reference.

These were really supposed to be temporary speakers in one system while I am waiting for a pair of Janszen 9.5s to be built (I am anticipating May/June).  I would then move them into a secondary system.

I listened to some Klipsch Forte's and Cornwalls at my dealer and did not connect with either one and I liked these immediately in the dealer's space.  I was really looking for some sort of speaker/dollar formula when making the purchase.

Looking at them as the $3700 speakers they are, I am pleased with the purchase.  Imaging is really good and the soundstage is well defined.  I have not tried them on their sides yet (waiting for the real stands).  Bass is actually fairly full for a 10" driver and I do not find the treble bright which could be the KT170s helping.  To my 55 year old ears, I preferred the sound over the 6K Cornwalls.

They are probably a little big to be a set of bookshelf speakers.

My listening habits are mostly classic rock and acoustic rock (which these are good at) and some classical (not as good.)

MoFi stands are now available.  The box for the two of them is about 77 pounds.  The bottom plate is where most of the weight is.
