MoFi SourcePoint 10 Bookshelf Loudspeaker (pair)
"The SourcePoint 10 makes a major statement in the under-$10k speaker category and breathes new life into the concentric loudspeaker genre. At its asking price, it represents a major bargain and a mandatory audition for audiophiles and music lovers alike."
- Dick Olsher, The Absolute Sound

“Clean, superbly well-defined low frequencies, the natural-sounding midrange, the high sensitivity, the easy-to-drive impedance, the ability to play loudly without strain, and the affordable price, the SourcePoint 10 gets a thumbs-up from this reviewer.
- John Atkinson, Stereophile

“The sound of the MoFi Sourcepoint 8 went far beyond its “bang for the buck” descriptors and provided a refined and balanced sound that should appeal to the tastes of even the fussiest of audiophiles.”

Formerly of ELAC, Andrew Jones is the closest we have to a rock star in loudspeaker design world. He is now with MoFi Electronics and has been given a carte blanche brief to design a new speaker.
Of course, it had to be based on Andrew's passion and area of expertise, the concentric driver. This allows a two-way design to be a point source, offering exceptional timing and imaging. The result is the SourcePoint 10.
Twin Drive Magnets
Placing one driver within another and optimizing their frequency response isn't enough, and the heart of the SourcePoint 10 is an all-new Twin-Drive high-flux neodymium magnet system. This system minimizes distortion in the motor structure of the drive unit. These distortions generate new frequencies outside of the original signal, and the focus with SourcePoint is to stop these before they even begin.
Twin-Drive's symmetrical magnetic field eliminates flux modulation which results in extremely low intermodulation distortion (IMD). The result is a truly pure and accurate sound.
Drivers and Cabs
Andrew spent 18 months perfecting the 10" concentric driver and designing it so that it produces a large amount of bass but also provides a consistent waveguide for the 1.25" soft-dome tweeter.
To minimize resonance created by that large woofer, the SourcePoint 10 uses 1" thick MDF on the sides, wrapped in a beautiful wood veneer. The front baffle is an amazing 2" thick sculpted MDF slab finished in a smooth satin-black coating. With internal bracing each speaker weighs in at an amazing 46.2 lb. But with its 91 dB efficiency, it's an easy drive for nearly every amp, tube or solid-state.
