MoFi Electronics SourcePoint 10 Master Edition

Overview

The MoFi Electronics SourcePoint 10 Master Edition Center Channel Speaker brings Andrew Jones's concentric point-source design to the most important speaker in a home theater. Built around the same 10 inch concentric driver used in the SourcePoint 10, it places a soft-dome tweeter at the acoustic center of the mid-bass cone so that dialogue and effects radiate from a single point. This point-source behavior yields wide, even dispersion across a wide listening area, which keeps voices anchored and intelligible whether you are seated on axis or off to the side.

As a Master Edition, this center uses the upgraded Master Edition crossover, the same voicing philosophy carried in MoFi's Master Edition stand mounts and floorstanders. That means it is timbre matched to the SourcePoint 10, so pans and voices move seamlessly between the left, center, and right channels without any shift in tonal character. The horizontal cabinet is designed to sit under or above a screen while preserving the coherent point-source response that defines the SourcePoint line.

This is a passive loudspeaker with an 8 ohm nominal impedance, so it requires an amplifier or an AV receiver channel to make sound. It is intended for the listener building a serious home theater around SourcePoint 10 mains who wants dialogue reproduction that matches the resolution and openness of the rest of the system.

How the SourcePoint 10 Center Compares

MoFi SourcePoint 10 Center vs MoFi SourcePoint 8 Center

The SourcePoint 8 Center uses the smaller 8 inch concentric driver and is timbre matched to the SourcePoint 8, making it the natural choice when your mains are the SourcePoint 8. This SourcePoint 10 Master Edition Center scales up with the larger 10 inch concentric driver and the Master Edition crossover, so it matches SourcePoint 10 mains and delivers more low-end weight and larger scale. Choose the center that matches your front pair for a seamless soundstage. See the MoFi SourcePoint 8 Center.

Recommended Amplification and Source

This is a passive speaker, so it needs an amplifier to make sound and MoFi does not build amplifiers. Because it is easy to drive and highly revealing, it scales beautifully with quality catalog amplification and a matching analog source.

• Parasound HALO A51 Five Channel Power Amp A five channel power amplifier is ideal for a full home theater, driving this center along with your SourcePoint mains and surrounds from one chassis with consistent power and character.
• Accuphase E-3000 Integrated Amplifier A premium integrated amplifier delivers refined, high current power that lets the point-source driver reveal fine detail, an excellent choice in a music-first system that also does dialogue duty.
• Luxman L-505Z Integrated Amplifier The L-505Z offers a smooth, resolving presentation and easily drives the 8 ohm load, keeping voices natural and open for both stereo listening and center-channel use.
• MoFi Electronics UltraDeck Turntable A MoFi turntable pairs naturally with a SourcePoint system, providing an analog source whose character complements the speaker's coherent point-source voicing.
• MoFi Electronics MasterTracker MM Phono Cartridge MoFi's top moving magnet cartridge extracts detail and dynamics that the revealing SourcePoint driver will faithfully reproduce, completing a matched MoFi analog front end.
