Andrew Jones MoFi Speakers

[rwortman]

I think many people do not realize how much serious engineering goes into the speaker design.

It’s my experience that most people don’t understand how much serious engineering goes into anything. Audio, automotive, motorcycle, photography, you name it, clueless self appointed experts aren’t hard to find.

I don't get the negativity in this thread. At least wait until you see measurements and read listening reports, and maybe even after you have heard them yourself before you say anything negative about the speakers.

non flat baffel, coaxial, looks classy, would be interesting to see if it delivers the measurement and directivity.

I appreciate the design for being fairly unique.
It is a nice looking speaker and fairly priced given the efforts of design and apparent build quality.
I'd love to hear them.
Like others here I suspect they will sound nice yet have objective/ measured short comings and that may be okay for many.
I think there is a pretty big group of potential buyers out there. Curious what else is planned.

Great episode of Guttenberg, that guy - maybe I will run into him as I am headed to NYC this weekend - what happened to the Harman flagship store, COVID?

May be expectations are high after Mr. Andrew leaving Elac and joining Mofi. He is definitely popular. It is good thing if one sees from that perspective.
Best regards.

At the $3700 price point, I'm surprised they're not active.

These do not look like 4000$ speakers, the mark up seems to be close to 2500%

.yes, but I don't think it's the kind of design where a do-it-yourselfer can say "I do the same thing for 10 times less".

For those who like coaxials, obligatory shout out for the SoundArtist SC8B. Only $649 for the pair. I wouldn't part with mine.

I love the look of them, the narrative lines up with the design elements and basic numbers. The price isn't anywhere out of the ordinary for a bespoke Loudspeaker of quality made in small numbers.

I’m not sure what Behringer is doing with the brand.

After the Behringer take over now more pro stuff https://www.tannoy.com/ while some of the classic Tannoy crew left and made their own company with similar Hifi https://www.fyneaudio.com/

In even more fairness, notice the smiley face and wink emotigrins.
It's okay if you take yourself too seriously, but leave me out of that shortcoming. Eh?

So you claim that you've put all the right smileys at the right, strategic places that only a person with obvious shortcoming would misinterpret you ? Now that's a way to look at world Good for you... maybe.

Ya see what i did there ?

Reality is that you've wrote something and there will always be someone that may misinterpret that. The way you're handling it is rather rude though. Polite answer would be much more effective and convincing.

In the white paper, it describe "Minimizing Movement, Not Bass"
However, 42 Hz from a 10 inch woofer,
I am not sure the design goal is fulfilled.

Polite mode engaged...
Well, I just counted the replies and you are standing all by yourself. It happens to trolls around here.
Polite mode continued, and humor methodology re-engaged.

Looks interesting. Mostly within a 5dB band

I saw that review. Their flaws don't seem to be significant enough to give Danny an addition to his retirement fund. I enjoy them, they are just vey tricky to place correctly.

 

[sarumbear]

Yawn.

Tannoy anyone?? They've been doing 10" and bigger dual concentrics like, forever.

Tannoy has a horn tweeter, this one has a dome tweeter. Big difference.

Something has to pay the cost of the research & design though...

What replies did you count ? I am the only one replying to your posts (mistake i won't repeat).

Your polite mode is quite similar to a-hole mode of few people i know. Strange. Luckily, your humor mode is re-engaged now so you're all fine

- what happened to the Harman flagship store, COVID?

Probably. In all its years, I've visited 8-10 times and there has never been more than one other visitor/customer in the store at the same time. I think COVID just sealed the deal.

Call me when Mofi have 3 ways coaxial things!
