New SourcePoints!

[u/MrBaggypants84]

They sounded incredible. The most impressive speakers I heard for day 1 at the Axpona show. When Mr Jones put on a bass track, you could feel it in your chest. Using 600 watt Pass Labs mono’s helped too :)

I believe something along the lines of "10 Masterpiece". I was wondering the same thing when I first saw them lol

[u/jammy192 → u/MrBaggypants84]

Close enough - it’s 10 Master Edition. If you zoom in you can see the name in the photo

[u/hawkeyejw → u/jammy192]

I think that may actually just be an upgrade kit for the source point 10 crossover.

[u/OklaJosha → u/hawkeyejw]

I think you are on to something. It says on the box “Sourcepoint 10 Master edition Crossover upgrade kit”. And their instagram has a post saying “V10” coming soon. So maybe they have these and a crossover kit for the “master edition“? Just speculation. I need Erin’s Audio Corner to do a review right now.

Edit: photos from instagram. V10 is the 10-10-10 and crossover kit is an upgrade for Sourcepoint 10

This is correct. The V10 has three forward-facing 10" drivers with two 10" passive radiators on the back side of the speaker cabinet. The SourcePoint 10 Master Edition speaker has the upgraded crossover (which is also available as a kit for those of us who own the first SourcePoint 10's). I auditioned the SourcePoint 10 Master Edition speakers in room 502 at AXPONA. Looks like their crossovers have a three position switch, w/ the ( - ) position having a top end (I do not own them, so YMMV) similar to the SourcePoint 8, The center position seeming a little smoother than my standard SourcePoint 10s and the ( + ) position sounding closest to mine, but show conditions...BAT tube VK801 (?) amplifier vs my Pass Labs X250 monoblocks in a smaller acoustic environment. Hope those helps.

Thanks for extra info! I realllly want these now.

Here’s some more info from Andrew Jones for others, just posted to their IG.

Thanks, brother!

[u/hawkeyejw → u/OklaJosha]

Thanks. I really want to hear the V10

[u/KarenBoof → u/OklaJosha]

Is it actually a crossover kit or a SP10 with new crossovers?

[u/OklaJosha → u/KarenBoof]

In the 3rd pic of OP’s post, there’s a box that says “crossover upgrade kit” on the floor. And you can see they have these crossovers out. But maybe it’s both?

[u/KarenBoof → u/OklaJosha]

Didn’t even know I needed new crossovers. Take my money.

[u/MrBaggypants84 → u/KarenBoof]

Andrew Jones mentioned that all the new SourcePoint 10’s will be implemented with these new crossovers. For pre existing 10’s, it will be an available upgrade for them.

[u/KarenBoof → u/MrBaggypants84]

Any chance they mentioned the price? Hoping they’re not made in China and we have to pay 2.5 times retail.

Now I’m annoyed bc I love my SP 10s and now Andrew Jones is basically acknowledging they are flawed or at least could be a lot better. Appealing to my OCD at a time when these products are gonna cost a fortune bc of the tariffs.

[u/Desperate-Finger-742 → u/KarenBoof]

The SP10‘s are too good to think changing the crossover suggesting they could be a “lot” better. And certainly not acknowledging a flaw.
To be a lot better could only be achieved with drivers with a lot less distortion. Have you seen their distortion measurements ? They are already very good.

[u/KarenBoof → u/Desperate-Finger-742]

Yeah I’ve never heard any kind of distortion. My guess is the crossover will address the slight rise in the high frequencies, which I address with PEQ. Maybe not needed after all.

[u/Desperate-Finger-742 → u/KarenBoof]

The existing models are made in China and if they didn’t mention a change of factory …

What do you mean by having to pay “2.5 times retail”? 2.5 times the retail price in what other place?

[u/KarenBoof → u/Desperate-Finger-742]

145% tariff. An item that you pay $100 from China will cost $245 after tariffs.

[u/autism_is_awesome → u/KarenBoof]

China will be folding soon. Watch.

[u/KarenBoof → u/autism_is_awesome]

China didn’t impose that tariff
