The SourcePoint 10 is a magnificent speaker, and it is a very large speaker. If you want all of the magic of that concentric driver and the same build and sonic excellence, but have a smaller room or budget, the SourcePoint 8 is the speaker for you.
Based closely on the SourcePoint 10 with the same 1.25" soft dome tweeter, the SourcePoint 8 uses an 8" concentric driver in place of the 10", but still delivers that big, satisfying sound that has captivated everybody who's heard the SourcePoint 10.
Placing one driver within another and optimizing their frequency response isn't enough, and the heart of the SourcePoint 8 is the 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.
Andrew spent 18 months perfecting the original 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. This design has been carried down to the SourcePoint 8 and its 8" driver to great effect.
To minimize resonance created by the woofer, the SourcePoint 8 uses thick MDF on the sides, wrapped in a beautiful wood veneer. The front baffle is a thick sculpted MDF slab finished in a smooth satin-black coating. With internal bracing, each speaker weighs in at an amazing 27.9 lb.
