The SP 888 is basically an SP 8 with woofers handling the lower octaves. The woofers add bass but they also improve the mid range because the mid range now only moves significantly less than it had to when it also handled bass. Plus there's an improvement in the coax affect because the cone moving less interacts less with the coax tweeter.

Speakers are personal. There are a number of really good ones although they don't sound exactly the same; they have different pluses and minuses. If you like Andrew's type of voicing they will be wonderful speakers for you that score way above their price range. Andrew Jones is one of a number of designers who actually knows why his speakers perform as they do.

Personally I think they are garbage and he should work the fields to pick up potatoes

  You certainly are in a sparse field.
  - Maybe I am but from the times I could hear things there were few speakers I abhorred more than Andrew Jones cr - Wojciech 20:56:12 11/06/24 (1)
    No wonder TAD picked him to design their contraptions for American market. They knew the elevated taste of Las Vegas dwellers.
    - Actually, on a second thought , now when I'm half deaf I might enjoy Andrew Jones speakers - Wojciech 21:13:31 11/06/24 (0)
      Because that's what I observed lately in regards to electronics and speakers. I bought some old Naim pieces of sh. And lo and behold I'm quite taken by that dreck.
      We all get old and mellow down so maybe I should keep quiet about Andrew Jones speakers. There is an army of engineers at KEF after all. They collectively beat everybody in the business in designing for robots and humanoids.
