SP10 Written Review (more amps tested): bit.ly/3hKJJRD
Instagram: @stevehuffofficial
Today I review the MoFi SourcePoint 10 Speakers and while I almost returned them without a review, after some tweaking and changing of the amp they really impressed me. So much so, they are staying put for a while. These speakers are designed by Andrew Jones for MoFi and produce a sound that is alive, dynamic, detailed and with plenty of bass down below.
Are they comparable to my $20k Fleetwood Deville SQ? I talk about that in the review as well!
Enjoy!

Hey everyone! Thanks for the comments. My written review is almost done and in that I talk about using these with other amps that are much more affordable. I’ll have that up within a couple of days. I’ll also do a video follow up soon. Thanks and Merry Christmas to all!

@kostasjezuz4846 Год назад

I have the exact same subwoofer, was blown away when I upgraded to it, it is so tight! You feel it more than hear it, not boomy at all, just seismic!

@scottbennett3119 7 месяцев назад

I have been enjoying your reviews for over a year. I like your honesty. Thank you! In this MoFi review, you said, "when I first hooked them up." I am assuming there was no break-in prior to reviewing these. I was wondering how much play time it took for these to smooth out. Thanks again.

@kentonwatts504 Год назад

I really enjoyed this review as I am looking forward to purchasing a set. I did wonder how they might sound with the Willsenton R8 and I discovered my answer in your written review which I appreciate your taking the time to include. The Willsenton is my only tube amplification but I do own a varied amount of solid state amps so I am excited to see which amp they blend with to my ears. I always look forward to your reviews for not only do I discover great gear but beautiful music as well. Thanks!

@robertm8518 Год назад

Tubes have a midrange magic that a solid state amp cannot reproduce.

I also have the L595a integrated, and am curious your take on the ‘hardness’ you experienced using that amp. I have found it a sublime unit. Do you think the SP10 needed an amp with more power?

@scottengh1175 Год назад

I like seeing your place. Sound must be fantastic.

@jeffreythurston1822 Год назад

Have no doubt these sound great to you but I would imagine the Pass labs amp would make a doorstop sound great. Would be nice to know what the speakers sound like with more price appropriate amplification.

@look8234 Год назад

Yeah, of course. Audio matching is very important!

@Nick-dh4gm Год назад

Thanks for the Sourcesound speakers by MoFi. Your room space looks great and that would be ideal for disco😄 ( you may not see this posting, but here goes) The only thing I am concerned with is the change in sound you got with a change in amps- and achieving better sound with the higher watt PAS Lab amp. Also am wondering if the sub woofer is essential? I also like Dean Martin, etc. I use vintage Epi Tower 1000 speakers, 75” tall with 4-8” woofers in each. I need no sub at down to 20 Hz. I use a Mac 252 amp. Would I be risking much time & dollars to consider a swap out to the Sourcesound?

@mpp9964 Год назад

Never understood Phillips head screws used in high end speakers. There is much better hardware available. If you ever have to take a driver out the screw head paint gets chipped and the screw head often rounded due to the inferior design of a Phillips head.

@rikardekvall3433 Год назад

Really great and informative review. Quite affordable speakers for its performance. All gives a high five for its sound quality. Some day, in Europe, we might get them to a fair price. I do believe some audiophiles will tweak them, after they have seen the yellow cheesy crossover. But, the manufacturer might have picked really, high end, quality parts but forgot to change the color that calls cheap quality. Or? Looking forward to 2023.

@designobservatory Год назад

You should compare these to the Tannoy Revolution xt8f which also has a dual concentric driver. My favorit speakers and even below the price tag of the Sourcepoint10.

@scootergants Год назад

@mtache12 Год назад

I heard these today at Florida audio expo. They sounded amazing. I want to buy them and replace my B&W 683 s2. Going to 2 way ok? Never though I’d consider this but the bass was deep. All being played off a $3k streamer / amp. Should I do it?

What are your thoughts in comparing these MOFIs with the JBL L82 Classic? Which ones sound better overall? Which one has the better bass?

@foreverdead513 Год назад

I've heard these with a Rogue Sphinx amp and an inexpensive DAC and they were incredible. I see people saying "of course it sounds great with the Pass amp, it's $7000"; The Sphinx (stock) is $1700 I believe with the ability to roll tubes if you want. Also, you can put these on their sides rather than the traditional vertical setup. Give it a try, @SteveHuffHiFi.

@johnkipos1427 Год назад

System synergy The speakers & amp are one. They have too work together. Original if they sounded thin then impedance miss match. You don’t have too use an expensive amplifier as Long as it’s matched too the speaker. If you want that speaker too sound even better. Put a high pass filter on the 10” mid bass driver. If you relive the first octive. Then half the excursion moment of the drive is halfed. A lot less Doppler distortion Frequency inter modulation distortion Same as jitter intermodal distortion in DACs

@jeromewhitmill733 Год назад

Do you have any slightly less expensive amplifier suggestions. Also I heard the stands are going to be $399.

@mpi5850 Год назад

Synergy is tough to achieve if you don't have a lot of time to analyze the connection; and there aren't a lot of dealers who will give you product to try at home. How can we really achieve synergy if we have "normal lives"?

@Davitamon76 Год назад

@HiFiHuff Год назад

You will want a warm leaning amp for these to sound their best.

@cremersalex Год назад

Many recordings don't like speakers with lots of detail and clarity. I wouldn't be surprised if there is a spike in the upper frequency response.

@deanwhiteley3065 Год назад

Agreed. Exactly why a prefer a set up with detail present but leaning more towards a more natural/musical/ organic presentation. I’m exactly the same with headphones.

@bakulg1131 Год назад

@vinylrules4838 Год назад

Being a point source speaker, I wonder if these will find their way as a monitor in recording studios.

@jedknutson8373 Год назад

yeah, i don't get the matching stands not being available and/or making them a pkg deal... I've looked at every stand on Crutchfield and maybe one would work but was way too expensive but then it was too high for the placement of the tweeter...(33" at center per mfg)...so i guess i sit and wait for now.. thought about some bar stools I have that would work but who wants that look...

@linkeddevices Год назад

They're trying to apply phi as KEF does to shrink the voigt pipe down to even the size of a cantaloupe that sound better than speakers 300x the price. Unfortunately the lower the price the more crippled the device is but that also includes lack of qc which can be done on your own. The KEF 3001SEs if you find them with their series on as close of sequence as possible (they inconify 2 entire generations of KEF tech, look up KEF uni Q museum) The source point here is designed to imitate the 3001SEs.

@MrShaggy789 Год назад

Audio equipment is usually cheaper in America. These speakers are priced at £4500 with the UK distributor. That's $1700 more for the same speaker. Pass labs Int-25 costs £7195 in UK, another $1400 more than the U.S. pays. I know there is shipping costs, import taxes and dealer margins all priced in but the American market seems to benefit mostly in terms of pricing.
