New MOFI speaker (Andrew Jones)


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

 

128x128mofimadness

I just made an enquiry for these in UK.

 

£4500!   That’s $5440!!!!!!   That’s $1741 more than the Crutchfield price.    
 

If this was a US made product I could understand, but they’re coming from China.   This is the very reason I never step foot in UK dealers.   Lazy, greedy dreamers.

 

$3699 = £3064.   So if it were VAT @ 20%, that’s £3677

Still £823 or $992 to account for.

 

UK dealers want money for nothing.

@singintheblues that’s sadly the case with a lot of electronics, Ironically, the US is often cheaper, economies of scale.

Little comfort: a box of strawberry they grow 10 miles from me cost $2 more here than 2,500 miles away in the last village in New Hampshire

One big factor with this speaker was keeping the cost down by using AJ's connections that he's had for the last 20 years in China. One is used to the VAT over the pond but a dealer markup of almost $1000 is out of bounds. 

Here's another video from a Canadian dealer and their take on the Sourcepoint 10:

All the best,
