New MOFI speaker (Andrew Jones)

maybe let's not go too deep in the love of China, it's getting weird

I heard them at Capital Audiofest and they sounded quite good to me, particularly considering the price.  It delivered reasonably deep and tight bass, a nice, warm upper bass, and smooth and natural midrange.  My only negative was a touch of sibilance in the upper midrange.  This negative is common to many modern speakers, as well as some old-school concentric driver systems like those of Tannoy.  I don’t know how well they play at lower volume because they were only played at higher volume levels.  Still, a very good sounding system.

I liked how they look.  The faceted baffle looked good (functionally, they are designed to minimize diffraction issues).  The picture frame edging around the front baffle gave the speaker a nice old school touch to go with the modern look of the faceted baffle.

I would also like to add how much I appreciated Andrew Jones' representation of the Mo-Fi speaker at Capital Audiofest.  He does a terrific job of explaining the design, including engineering challenges and the compromises that are made in implementing the particular design.  He has been my favorite representative from when I first heard him at CES talking about TAD speakers about 20 years ago.  

It is a small wonder how he manages to keep his very friendly and engaging demeanor over the entirety of a long show.  He is an extraordinary trooper.
