MoFi Sourcepoint 888 Speakers
@kennyc Thanks. I think he’s a pretty brilliant guy. I was really interested in the sourcepoint 8 and 10 when they came out because I understood the advantages of concentric drivers having a little second hand experience with Tannoy speakers. Th... 
Xangsane Cryo OCC vs Sterling Silver XLRs
They are not at all thin or bright. They are smooth and well balanced with excellent bass and detail retrieval.  
Xangsane Cryo OCC vs Sterling Silver XLRs
@stillbuyingtoys  The cryo thing is apparently new for them, because I bought a set of RCA's pretty recently and I didn't see anything that was cryo'ed. I can say that i have been using their solid core silver interconnects for several years, and...

@mapman  Thanks for that info. @immatthewj  Thanks for the good wishes.  
OK Audiogon, help me out please
Both brands have different sounds. It isn't possible for members to help you if they don't know your sonic priorities.

I was surprised to find the latest Stereophile in my mailbox today with a review of the 888’s. John Atkinson loved them. @immatthewj I think that's what I've usually understood; that is that minimum impedance is more important than efficiency re... 
MoFi Sourcepoint 888 Speakers
I’m using an old, much modified Mac, but despite being somewhat inefficient, they don’t drop below 4.6 ohms I think, so they’re not very hard to drive. I’m getting plenty of oomph. Today I got my chest pushed in a bit by Peter Gabriel’s "This is ...

@waytoomuchstuff  They were certainly a brilliant design. I had the klipschorns back in 1976, and I loved them for years too, but I believe the Epics were a better speaker overall.  
MoFi Sourcepoint 888 Speakers
@waytoomuchstuff  Agreed. I liked the CF-4's so much that they were my everyday speakers for 15 years. Their strong points were coherence and dynamics. They also had an amazing sense of musical flow, but after exposure to a different speaker two... 
MoFi Sourcepoint 888 Speakers
Thanks @mapman. I neglected to mention one of their strong attributes that I really value in a speaker, which is coherence. It was one of the things that made me stay with the Klipsch Epic CF 4’s for so long despite some other minor failings. Once... 
Does your system "rock"?!?! NO? ADD MORE ROCKS!!
Seems like a crackpot. He doesn't even show his system!  
???Safely Trading Gear Between Private Parties???
Not sure what you mean. I suppose it's impossible on audiogon because they get their fee and percentage, but you can solicit trades on USAM.  
A new horn is brewing in the cauldron?
@acresverde Thanks for that one! It is a common and inexcusable error. I have a close friend who uses it that way all of the time in texts, and I just grit my teeth. She also writes ect instead of etc, no matter how many times I write etc, and ...

@stuartk  I'm with you. I don't get it either.
