New MOFI speaker (Andrew Jones)

Ah yes. 10 “ drivers. 8” drivers. Just like the good old days! My ohms are 12” and 8” drivers respectively. Hurray for Real speakers not with undersized drivers that are still around these days and are of high quality but  that won’t break the bank. Happy Days!

I did not notice sibilance but only had a very short listen. Are you saying the speakers produced sibilance where there should be none? Sibilance can be a natural occurrence and not necessarily an artifact of reproduction. In fact I’m not sure I have ever heard any good quality hifi that produced artificial sibilance. Maybe if something was defective or not working properly, like a defective driver, crossover, system component or vinyl playback that is not tracking well or record has groove damage. Maybe if amp clipping. In any of these cases the cause is not the speaker design. Speakers just often mistakenly get all the credit or blame accordingly.

They were not bright.  

I would face them off against anything else I heard at the show in a similar size room ie modest size hotel room. Obviously the bigger products are needed for the larger ball and meeting rooms. The Atmasphere class d amps for less than 6k delivered some of the best sound in the show with the big Classic Audios in their ballroom home imho. This business about you gotta have way more expensive gear to get the best is nonsense at least these days. Maybe in the past where a show like this is still firmly rooted.

The amps they used delivered all the goods.  A perfectly fine choice IMHO. 

Dare I say those new Mofi speakers could be giant killers. I really liked what I heard. I think they were running off a HiFi Rose Class D integrated amp and the pairing was spot on. Meaty yet articulate with good extension. I had my sound meter app with me today while visiting all the rooms and the measurements reflected what I heard. Clean articulate bass extended pretty well down there similar to other much larger and expensive speakers heard. Big boy dynamics well ahead of many others I heard with puny drivers and way bigger price tags.

I heard them today at CAF. They sounded like the real deal! One of just a few things I heard today that I would consider owning. Big clean sound. Sounded way better than many other much bigger and expensive setups in many rooms. The price surprised me pleasantly.
