I'm curious: do you have any towers in mind that you'd choose? And aside from the lower bass, would you expect just as good performance from your chosen tower?
Well if it has to hit the nail on the head at $3k I'd need to do some homework.
But my JBL 3600 towers were $4k for the pair, only slightly more.
And I chose them over the 1600s at $2k the pair.
It's more a personal decision on value for the money.
I just can't find myself warming up to any small stand mounts for that kind of dough.
If your in the market for a small coaxial stand mount, I've heard Dr Hsu's CCB-8 and found them most excellent.
They've gotten rave reviews almost everywhere, but of course they're only $800 a pair, so the high-end press can't like em.
Kef ls50's are only $1600 the pair and they're loved by almost all.
I don't mean to slam the MoFi's, I'm sure they're quite decent.
But to me it's just another audio press gushing over the latest & greatest fav.
Every few years it's someone/thing that the fan-boys find the greatest thing since sliced bread.
And then there's the situation with MoFi's big scandal.
The high end's got to find a way to save the leaders in their overpriced snake-oil marketing choice, vinyl.
