I received my Source Point 10's yesterday.  They are in the walnut finish and they are huge. I definitely need the Mofi stands. They look strange and a little unsteady on my skinny pedestals. I plan to stain the wood a darker Cappuccino color to blend better with my contemporary room which has the darker furniture color. I own a pair of $10,000 Alta Alec's, so once the Source Point 10's are fully burnt in, things will get very interesting. The Alta's are Phenomenal.

Right out of the box I thought to myself, Houston, the audio industry has a problem. The Mofi's are amazing. They are punchy and the sound stage is huge. They sound the livest, I ever heard, and that includes speakers from any audio show I attended. 

I remember last summer my wife and I were riding our bikes in Central Park in New York City. We saw a a 4 piece band playing near a lake. We pulled over and sat on a bench to listen. My Wife commented on how great they sounded. I turned to her and responded, "I can spend millions on equipment and never get that sound".

I am 65 and have been an audiophile since I was 15. When I was younger, I saved my money to buy Fisher, Pioneer, and Marantz receivers. As I became older I got caught up in the equipment frenzy. I made a lot of bad purchases. The Mofi Source Point 10's are the real deal. Again, they are the closest I have heard to actual live music, and they are not yet broken in. To me the Audio industry has gotten out of control with over hyped a grossly expensive equipment. They have a  big problem here with these $3700 speakers. The Mofi's are not in the best cabinetry and finish as $100,000 plus speakers, but to me they produce sound that is as good as it gets. 

@gb9746 that's pretty cool.

regarding the stands, that's exactly what I predicted (I know nothing about the sound so I criticize the design :) )

Their size puts them between categories: too big as a bookshelf, not tall enough to sit on the floor. True, the Linton stands might work, but it deserves cooler design.

grislybutter, I must address the stand issue. Mofi is suppose to have some available soon. If they do not, I will find stands. That issue will be resolved one way or the other. 

I believe the stands Mofi is going to use with the Sourcepoint 10 speakers are in this video:

They look sturdy enough.

And, thanks, @gb9746 for your honest first impressions. I thought I'd wait a bit but after reading you and your wife's take on them, I'm now leaning towards not waiting. 😄

 

All the best,
