MoFi SourcePoint 888 Review and Measurements by Erin

[jhaider]

I don't mind the weird surround at all,but I do mind visible screws,gaps,etc (At MoFi as well but at least they don't have variable gaps as I see at some March) .

Considering that the moving bits are properly concealed behind grilles, adding extra trim to inhibit serviceability makes little sense. And if one must have the wobbly bits exposed, screws detract far less than seeing the cones move.

Love the video - such nicely made drivers, in a stealthy way the expensive bits (underhung neo motors) hidden instead of money spent on fancy-looking cones or buzzword materials. These sounded great at Axpona last year.

Enthusiastic review from John Atkinson in the March 2025 issue of Stereophile:

“‘On MoFi’s website, Andrew Jones writes that his “goal for the SourcePoint 888 is to enhance the technology and sound quality of the SourcePoint 8 and elevate it to an even higher performance level.” A “higher performance level” is indeed what I found with the MoFi SourcePoint 888. With more neutrally balanced high frequencies than the SourcePoint 10 but with equally precise stereo imaging, coupled with a transparent midrange, no coloration to speak of, and extended, powerful low frequencies, the SourcePoint 888 sounded superbly involving with every type of music I played. That it achieves this level of performance at a price many times lower than that of competing overachievers is astonishing. Highly recommended.”

He’s also very positive in his testing writeup: “The MoFi SourcePoint 888’s measured performance is superb.”

MoFi Electronics SourcePoint 888 loudspeaker

A recent high point in my career as a reviewer was writing about the MoFi Electronics SourcePoint 10 standmount loudspeaker for the February 2023 issue of Stereophile. Priced at $2999/pair, the two-way SourcePoint 10 featured an innovative 10" coaxial (HF/LF) drive unit and impressed me with its...

Got my replacement pair of 888's on Wednesday. First thing was to check for any low frequency rattles (none found) and to make sure some clown hadn't glued the connection plate in, they weren't. Ran the usual frequency response sweep on REW and they measure about the same as the originals so think I skip re-running Dirac for now. Maybe it's just the usual mistake of buying something too soon after they are released, the originals were S/N 12, the new ones are 270.
