New MOFI speaker (Andrew Jones)

@garyalex what was the name/brand of the other speaker?

I wonder if it was Fyne.  Fyne provides competition to the Mofi both below and above their price point.

It was the Heretic AD612.  What a difference.  I don't like using the term "musical" when describing a speaker's sound but it truly fits.  But this speaker is much more expensive than the SP 10 so it's not really fair.

@larryi

thanks for your report.  sibilance is what i was concerned about and is something difficult to fix when there is such a size difference between drivers without filtering out key midrange frequencies.  

i like the big bass and high sensitivity but sibilance is my audio kryptonite.

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.
