Equipment Recommendations - The Home For New System and Upgrade Advice

The new Zu DWX Supremes should be here next week. Will have 60 days to figure out if they stay for the long haul.

Also going to find a way to listen to some MoFi Sourcepoint 8s and KEF R3 Metas during those 60 days to make sure I’m getting the best speaker for my tastes these days.

Anyone listen to the MoFi or KEFs yet?

Get them all in house and do a review for us.

The isolation box is like your isolation platform, it’s got fancy feet and sorbothene damping but it forms a box the table sits in for aesthetics.

I put the sub platter on a good year after the isolation box. It darkened the background a good bit and tightened up the bass a little.

Are you using the OG platter or have you also upgraded that?

I have an esprit model that came bundled with the upgraded acrylic platter as standard.

Would you put them in your system? What stood out about them?

I've currently got the L100s and I honestly thought the sound out of the R3s was similar in how full and refined they were but also with the capability to rock out. Big big stage from such a relatively modest sized speaker with good punch. Now I can't recall what was powering them at the time but I'm sure your Kinki would do a great job with them. They're also really pretty with the matching stands...



If I had a second system I would definitely have these in it, as it is the L100s are farther up the speaker "tree" as it were so I wouldn't replace them with these, but I would absolutely consider them if I didn't have the L100s. I think if you have the option to hear them somewhere that would be very worthwhile. They're a much smaller form factor than the Lintons but they definitely sound big. That being said I heard them in a listening room with proper baffling/dampening etc so YMMV...
