"MY GOAL FOR THE SOURCEPOINT 888 IS TO ENHANCE THE TECHNOLOGY AND SOUND QUALITY OF THE SOURCEPOINT 8 AND ELEVATE IT TO AN EVEN HIGHER PERFORMANCE LEVEL."
- Andrew Jones, Chief Loudspeaker Designer
This new has a Frequency Response of 32Hz-30kHz, and it introduces three 8-inch drivers (two newly developed 8-inch woofers alongside the refined concentric driver configuration), enhancing the original SourcePoint 8 with two additional woofers for better bass and dynamic range. The three-way crossover frequencies are set at 130Hz and 1.6kHz so the woofers focus on frequencies below 130Hz, optimizing the concentric driver for midrange and treble, which enhances sonic clarity.
The SourcePoint 888 features dual opposing neodymium magnets and operates in a rigid, individually isolated chamber to reduce resonance. It offers bi-wire and bi-amp connectivity through high-quality binding posts. According to Andrew Jones, the aim of the SourcePoint 888 is to elevate the sound quality of the SourcePoint 8 to new heights, utilizing a rear-ported floor-standing cabinet to house the three drivers.
This speaker is designed to suit a wide array of musical tastes and styles, delivering high-fidelity performance across various genres. Set to launch in Q2 2024, the SourcePoint 888 will be available for $4,999 per pair at mofielectronics.com, with options for a satin black, white, and real wood walnut finish.
