New MOFI speaker (Andrew Jones)


Here is some info on the new MOFI/Jones speaker:

I watched the whole video this morning, and it was very interesting. Andrew is a very smart and inquisitive guy, but I thought that Steve was too reticent, and didn't ask enough questions, such as who the intended customer was for this particular design, since it isn't what the average buyer is looking at, although I would really like to hear it. Other than that, it was really good.

I had a dinner out with Andrew Jones many years ago. He impressed me as a genuinely nice man and extremely competent speaker designer. I've followed his career arc for decades since. The Source Point 10s may seem controversial to some, but I see more than a little Henry Kloss in the design - 10" 2-Way, low crossover, 2 CuFt box, legit 40 Hz bass, that's a Large Advent. And we all know how that turned out. I've often wondered what a no-holds-barred Advent might look like, and now I know. Can't wait to hear them.

They're just as tall as my JBL 4319s but a few inches wider and a few more even deeper so the Wharfedale Litton stands can easily handle them. Those stands come fully assembled and are sturdy as heck. 

As for the Music Direct catalog, I just went through it and there's also going to be a KLH model 7 (with a 13" woofer) and Wharfedale is also getting in on the retro act with their Dovetail (with a 10" Kevlar woofer). 

All the best,

I am not in any way associated with Mobile Fidelity or Music Direct other than being a long time customer.

My moniker was actually given to me by someone on here many moons ago.  I had commented that I have every MOFI LP ever commercial released, and he said that was just "MOFI Madness"...it stuck. 

Still have a complete collection.  Everything on vinyl so far.

i do wonder... is the user @mofimadness affiliated with mobile fidelity?  if so this should be considered as advertising, and should be paid for...

They're cool looking.

At some point though, I'd have to at least look at Tannoy.

 

You can hear them at CAF this weekend I plan to check them out looks like an interesting design and solid value.

I've known Andrew for over 30+ years now.  IMHO, he's one of the most talented speaker designers ever...and a really nice gentleman.

Like he said in the interview, give him the time and the money and see/hear what he can do.

I would really love to hear these.  Bet they're killer...

they are different for sure, I kind of like different, that was the appeal to the Sonner Legato Unum and that they sound freaking awesome!

Would love to hear this in my system. 

$3.699.00. First deliveries in December.
I think they look great. 

All the best,
Nonoise

 

 I'm seriously looking into this one. Fits my needs and I have the perfect stands for them: my Wharfedale Litton stands that my JBL 4319s are using as of now. 

All the best,
