New MOFI speaker (Andrew Jones)

@prof @roxy54

this jay character lost all credibility with me when he posted a y-t vid saying pass labs amps were mid-fi

he simply hasn’t a clue what hi-fi is if he believes that

Jay is a human being and thus of course has flaws, but IMHO at least he does not seem disingenuous. His systems, while not to everyone's tastes, certainly contain state of the art components. He has more direct experience with uber high end gear in his own system than anyone else I know of, so when he shares an opinion of Boulder gear, for example, I have no reason to doubt what he says. With that being said, I thought he made an error in judgement denigrating the SP 10s in that YouTube video without having had them in his system, and told him so in that video's comments section, and judging by his responses to other critical comments, he's getting ready to admit the mistake.

Many here probably know I have Emerald Physics 3.4s; Open Baffle, 12" concentric with 1" polyester tweeter, outboard XOs. I was shocked when I received them as the XO/speaker jumper wire was garbage, AND, not long enough to get them off the bases, which vibrate like crazy. I immediately upgraded the jumper wire, and also would have upgraded the wires in between the speaker binding posts and the drivers, but the small channel they fit into on the back side of the baffle is not DIY friendly, although I could bypass them externally, the binding posts likely present a problem. I have seen many of the EP OB speakers for sale, alas, their supplied photos always show the XOs on the bases, and the garbage jumper wire. I send them all emails about what I did, but never got a thank you, so Im guessing they never bothered to do the simplest upgrades. BTW, the 3.4s and their similar models are terrific buys on the used market

He lost street credibility with me when he became a rep and started selling his wares on his videos..add the fact every videos now starts off with "become a member of his site," I think the top guys are paying 50 a month...
