botrytis Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Well, since he has joined Mo-Fi, he has a new speaker out... https://www.ecoustics.com/products/mofi-sourcepoint-10/ It will be interesting to hear. Anyone else's opinion?

These speakers look very impressive from an engineering standpoint, however I think the in-room high frequency balance is off, i.e., too much tweeter output. I think compared to your Revels these speakers would not sound as well balanced.

So, it maybe they do not sound that way.

Axiom05 Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 I'm going by the various in-room responses that Atkinson has made in his listening room. His measurements are usually pretty indicative to what he hears in his room. Certainly comparing a number of speakers all measured using the same method allows a relative comparison? I'm thinking AJ did too good of a job with off-axis response, lol.

botrytis Posted January 20, 2023 Author Share Posted January 20, 2023 Too good?

CKehoe Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 I'd like to see mitchco get a pair and work his magic, integrating with his big subs. I imagine it would be like his LS50s on steroids. Link to comment
Greg Bonaparte Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 I have the Sourcepoint 10's. They are in the walnut finish and they are huge. I also have the Motif stands. The Motifs are amazing. They are punchy and the sound stage is huge. They sound the livest, I ever heard, and that includes speakers from any audio show I attended. I remember last summer my wife and I were riding our bikes in Central Park in New York City. We saw a a 4 piece band playing near a lake. We pulled over and sat on a bench to listen. My Wife commented on how great they sounded. I turned to her and responded, "I can spend millions on equipment and never get that sound". I am 65 and have been an audiophile since I was 15. When I was younger, I saved my money to buy Fisher, Pioneer, and Marantz receivers. As I became older I got caught up in the equipment frenzy. I made a lot of bad purchases. The Mofi Source Point 10's are the real deal. Again, they are the closest I have heard to actual live music. To me the Audio industry has gotten out of control with over hyped and grossly expensive equipment. They have a big problem here with these $3700 speakers. The Motifs are not in the best cabinetry and finish as $100,000 plus speakers, but to me they produce sound that is as good as it gets. Link to comment
