At its heart sits a concentric point-source driver, a 1.25 inch soft-dome tweeter mounted at the acoustic center of an 8 inch paper-cone midrange, so the high and midrange frequencies radiate from a single point in space. This approach delivers coherent, focused imaging and wide, even dispersion that stays consistent across the room and off axis.To extend low-frequency authority, the concentric driver is augmented by two dedicated 8 inch woofers in a rear-ported floorstanding cabinet. The result is a frequency range that reaches from 32Hz up to 30kHz, giving the SourcePoint 888 full-range scale and effortless dynamics without losing the point-source coherence that defines the SourcePoint line. With a 6 ohm nominal impedance, a 4.5 ohm minimum, and 87dB sensitivity, it is a revealing yet manageable load that rewards a clean, high current amplifier.This is a speaker for the listener who wants tightly focused imaging, natural tonal balance, and genuine floorstanding weight in a two-channel or reference stereo system. Because it is a passive design and MoFi does not build amplifiers, the SourcePoint 888 needs a separate amplifier to make sound, and it scales beautifully as source and amplification quality improves.Key Features Three-way floorstanding design tuned by Andrew Jones Concentric point-source driver: 1.25 inch soft-dome tweeter at the acoustic center of an 8 inch paper-cone midrange Two additional 8 inch woofers for extended low-frequency authority Wide, even dispersion and pinpoint imaging from a true point-source layout Full-range response from 32Hz to 30kHz Rear-ported cabinet for deep, articulate bass loading 87dB sensitivity with a 6 ohm nominal load, easy to drive yet highly revealing Scales with high quality amplification and analog sources Passive design that integrates into any quality two-channel or reference stereo system How the SourcePoint 888 ComparesMoFi SourcePoint 888 vs MoFi SourcePoint V10 Master EditionThe V10 Master Edition sits above the 888 in the SourcePoint range and, being a Master Edition, brings an upgraded crossover and reference-level execution. Both share the Andrew Jones concentric point-source philosophy for coherent imaging, but the V10 Master Edition is aimed at the listener chasing the fullest expression of the design. Choose the 888 for a full-range three-way floorstander at a more accessible point in the ladder, and step up to the V10 Master Edition when you want the flagship treatment. See the MoFi SourcePoint V10 Master Edition.MoFi SourcePoint 888 vs Spendor A4.2The Spendor A4.2 is a slim three-driver floorstander in the British tradition, voiced for refinement and easy room placement in smaller and mid-sized spaces. The SourcePoint 888 takes a different design goal, using a concentric point-source driver and dual 8 inch woofers for a larger, more dynamic presentation with pinpoint central imaging. Pick the Spendor for a compact, room-friendly footprint, and the 888 when you want point-source coherence with fuller scale. See the Spendor A4.2.MoFi SourcePoint 888 vs Klipsch Forte IV HeritageThe Klipsch Forte IV is a high-sensitivity horn-loaded Heritage design, built for lively, efficient dynamics that thrive with lower-powered amplifiers. The SourcePoint 888 uses a concentric point-source driver for wide, even dispersion and tightly focused imaging, and rewards clean, higher current amplification. Choose the Forte IV for horn energy and efficiency, and the 888 for point-source coherence and neutral tonal balance. See the Klipsch Forte IV Heritage.Recommended Amplification and SourceThe SourcePoint 888 is passive and MoFi does not make amplifiers, so it needs a separate amplifier and scales with quality electronics. Lean toward a premium integrated or a preamp and power amp pairing, with a MoFi analog front end as a natural source. Accuphase E-3000 Integrated A refined, high current integrated that drives the 888's 4.5 ohm minimum with control and delivers the resolution the concentric driver reveals. A single-box solution that lets the point-source imaging shine. Luxman L-505Z Integrated The L-505Z pairs smooth, natural voicing with ample current for the 888, a great match for long listening sessions. Its clean tonal balance complements the speaker's neutral character. Parasound JC5 Power Amp For a separates system, the JC5 offers high current stereo power to grip the dual 8 inch woofers with authority. Pair it with a quality preamplifier for full dynamic scale. MoFi UltraDeck Turntable A belt-drive MoFi turntable makes a natural analog front end for a SourcePoint system, delivering the coherence and detail the 888 resolves. Combine it with a MoFi phono stage and cartridge for a matched analog chain. MoFi MasterTracker Cartridge MoFi's top moving magnet cartridge tracks confidently and extracts fine detail, feeding the 888 a clean, dynamic signal. It completes a natural MoFi analog source alongside an UltraPhono Pro phono stage. Frequently Asked QuestionsIs the SourcePoint 888 an active or passive speaker?It is a passive loudspeaker, so it needs a separate amplifier to make sound. MoFi does not build amplifiers, so plan for an integrated amplifier or a preamp and power amp pairing.What kind of driver does the 888 use?It uses an Andrew Jones concentric point-source driver, a 1.25 inch soft-dome tweeter mounted at the acoustic center of an 8 inch paper-cone midrange, augmented by two 8 inch woofers.Why is a point-source design important?Because the tweeter and midrange radiate from a single point, the speaker delivers coherent, focused imaging and wide, even dispersion that stays consistent across the room and off axis.How many ways is the SourcePoint 888?It is a three-way floorstanding loudspeaker, with the concentric tweeter and midrange handling the upper ranges and two dedicated woofers covering the bass.What is its frequency range?The SourcePoint 888 covers 32Hz to 30kHz.What is the sensitivity?Sensitivity is rated at 87dB measured at 2.83V/1m.What is the impedance?It has a 6 ohm nominal impedance with a 4.5 ohm minimum, so a stable, high current amplifier is a good match.How much power do I need?The 888 is fairly easy to drive but scales with quality, so a clean, high current amplifier will let it perform at its best. Match wattage to your room size and listening levels.Is the cabinet ported?Yes, it is a rear-ported floorstanding cabinet, so allow some breathing room behind the speaker for the best bass loading.Which amplifiers do you recommend?Strong matches from our catalog include the Accuphase E-3000, the Luxman L-505Z, and the Parasound JC5 with a suitable preamplifier.What analog source pairs well with it?A MoFi turntable such as the UltraDeck, paired with a MoFi phono stage and the MasterTracker cartridge, makes a natural analog front end.How does the 888 compare to the SourcePoint V10 Master Edition?The V10 Master Edition sits above the 888 in the range and, as a Master Edition, offers an upgraded crossover and reference-level execution.
