MoFi Electronics SourcePoint 888 Floorstanding Speakers – Pair

What You Need to Know

Andrew Jones’ First MoFi Floorstander—and His Best Work Yet

The MoFi Electronics SourcePoint 888 takes the concentric point-source driver that made the SourcePoint standmounts famous and gives it two dedicated 8-inch woofers, a 96-pound braced cabinet, and bass to 32Hz. Designed by Andrew Jones—the engineer behind KEF’s Uni-Q, Pioneer’s TAD-derived reference speakers, and ELAC’s giant-killing Debut line—it earned a Highly Recommended from Stereophile’s John Atkinson, an Outstanding Product badge from Hi-Fi News, and finalist honors for Stereophile’s 2025 Loudspeaker of the Year.

Available in Satin Walnut, Satin Black Ash, or Satin White Ash real wood veneer, and sold as a pair.

A True Point Source: One Driver, Two Ways

At the heart of the 888 sits an 8-inch concentric driver with a 1.25-inch soft dome tweeter mounted at its center. Because both drivers radiate from the same point in space, the sound arrives at your ears in perfect time alignment—which is why reviewers describe imaging normally reserved for tiny minimonitors coming from a full-size tower.

Jones’ twist: the midrange cone itself acts as the tweeter’s waveguide, cutting the dome’s required excursion so it can cross over as low as 1.6kHz with exceptionally consistent off-axis behavior. The oversize 1.25-inch dome and its wide-roll surround add dynamic range where ordinary 1-inch tweeters run out of headroom.

Three Eights: The Name Says It All

Below 130Hz, two additional 8-inch paper-cone woofers take over, freeing the concentric driver to do nothing but midrange and treble. Those woofers use dual opposing neodymium magnets with a short coil in a long gap, so the magnetic field stays uniform through the entire stroke—linear, precisely controlled cone motion instead of the compression you hear from lesser drivers.

The payoff is bass to 32Hz with distortion measuring a remarkable 0.1% at 100Hz, and the effortless dynamic ease that only real cone area delivers.

A Cabinet Engineered to Disappear

Each driver breathes in its own isolated, optimally sized chamber, and those internal walls add tremendous stiffness—Stereophile found the enclosure “surprisingly inert” when rapped, with resonances too low and too high in Q to matter. The multi-faceted front baffle is sculpted to eliminate diffraction, so you hear the drivers, not the box. Twin rear ports tuned to roughly 31Hz complete the loading.

Real Wood, Real Finish

Book-matched satin real-wood veneer in walnut, black ash, or the 888-exclusive white ash wraps a satin-black baffle. Magnetic grilles attach without visible hardware, and each speaker ships with both carpet cones and flat feet for hard floors.

Widely Acclaimed

Stereophile’s John Atkinson spent three months with the 888s and concluded they “sounded superbly involving with every type of music I played. That it achieves this level of performance at a price many times lower than that of competing overachievers is astonishing. Highly recommended.” Hi-Fi News gave it an Outstanding Product award, and The Absolute Sound’s Tom Martin wrote that “for many people shopping in this price range, the SourcePoint 888 is probably the speaker to get.”

Building Your System

At 87dB sensitivity with a 6-ohm nominal load (4.5 ohms minimum), the 888 isn’t hard to drive but rewards an amplifier with real gain and current—Stereophile measured it as an easy load overall. Bi-wire and bi-amp connection is supported via two pairs of binding posts with factory shorting straps.

Give the rear ports some breathing room from the wall, remove the grilles for critical listening as MoFi recommends, and prepare for a speaker that plays big: 96 pounds each, and worth every ounce.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a concentric driver actually do for the sound?
It puts the tweeter at the exact acoustic center of the midrange, so both arrive at your ears together from a single point. The result is pinpoint imaging and a soundstage that stays stable whether you’re seated dead center or standing off to the side.

How does it compare to the SourcePoint 8 and 10 standmounts?
The 888 uses the same 8-inch concentric driver as the SourcePoint 8, then roughly doubles the cabinet volume and adds two dedicated woofers below 130Hz. You get the same imaging with far deeper bass, higher output, and dramatically lower distortion.

What amplifier do they need?
Any competent amplifier with adequate gain—the load is friendly, but 87dB sensitivity means you’ll want real power rather than a few flea watts. Bi-wiring and bi-amping are both supported.

Who is the SourcePoint 888 designed for?
It’s for the listener who wants full-range floorstanding scale without giving up the imaging precision of a great point-source monitor—and who appreciates that Andrew Jones has spent forty years making that combination possible.
