| MoFi Sourcepoint 888 Speakers @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. | |
| MoFi Sourcepoint 888 Speakers 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 ... | |
| MoFi Sourcepoint 888 Speakers Thanks @ozzy62 . It feels even better when you realize that it's an improvement, not just a different flavor. | |
| MoFi Sourcepoint 888 Speakers @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 ... | |
| Music/Life @stuartk I'm with you. I don't get it either. | |
| Music/Life @larsman Thanks for the correction. I've never been one of his fans, so I just made a guess. | |
| A new horn is brewing in the cauldron? Also, your instead of you're. | |
| Music/Life I'll say fade away. I lost my best friend and a brother who was very dear to me because although both were joyful beings, they paid little attention to their physical well-being. I wish that they were still here to enjoy life with me, and eventual... |
