MoFi Electronics Source Point 888

Stereophile

|

March 2025

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.'

- JOHN ATKINSON

MoFi Electronics Source Point 888

Priced at $2999/pair, the two-way SourcePoint 10 featured an innovative 10" coaxial (HF/LF) drive unit and impressed me with its clean, superbly well-defined low frequencies, natural-sounding midrange, and the ability to play loudly without strain.

The SourcePoint 10 was the first MoFi speaker to be designed by Andrew Jones, whose earlier designs for KEF, Infinity, Pioneer, TAD, and ELAC had all taken up residence in Stereophile's Recommended Components listings over the years. The second of Andrew's designs for MoFi was the SourcePoint 8, which was favorably reviewed by Kalman Rubinson in September 2023.2 Priced at a competitive $1999/ pair, the SourcePoint 8 also used a coaxial drive unit, but as the name suggests, the woofer diameter was 8" rather than 10". KR was also impressed by what he heard, writing that the SourcePoint 8 was a balanced, wide-range speaker that demonstrated how satisfying a small, relatively affordable loudspeaker can be.

Now we have Andrew Jones's third design for MoFi, the floorstanding SourcePoint 888, which costs $4999/pair.

The SourcePoint 888...

... uses an 8" coaxial driver for the midrange and treble, similar to that used in the SourcePoint 8. This driver is mounted near the top of the sculpted front baffle, accompanied farther down by two 8" woofers. The woofers use a paper cone and are reflex-loaded with two 3"-wide ports on the rear panel. The midrange and woofer cones are terminated with a corrugated surround rather than the usual half-roll rubber surround. With the midrange cone, the obstruction of the half-roll surround would disrupt the tweeter's radiated wavefront.

Doing it for themselves—and for us

Women have undeniably become the most dynamic and vital creative force in music today. Without their good energies and ideas, music, which in the digital age has become more background than art, would be much less interesting and inspiring.

Umami tunes

If you go to Tokyo, there's a good chance you'll develop a new appreciation for shopping malls. The Japanese know malls. They know just what to do with them. Inside a Tokyo mall, you can peruse the usual handbags and shoes in their unending variety. But you can also stare at Fuji apples as large as a baby's head swaddled in tissue paper, flip through the world's most exquisite stationery, stock up on fabric from the 1920s, and taste things that will haunt you well into retirement.
