According to Mobile Fidelity “the SourcePoint 10 is designed like a cost-no-object loudspeaker, a complete from the ground up approach, to deliver the highest sound quality and value.”

The SourcePoint 10 loudspeaker is designed by Andrew Jones of ELAC fame and is based upon a concentric/coaxial arrangement of a 1.25″ soft dome tweeter and a 10″ paper pulp mid/bass driver that also acts as a waveguide for the tweeter’s output. The tweeter crossover is stated to be 1.6KHz with an upper response of 30KHz. According to Jones, the use of a large bass driver reduces its excursion maintaining a consistent waveguide and helps deliver lower bass octaves down to 42Hz. With a rated sensitivity of 91dB, 8 ohms nominal impedance and 6.2 ohms minimum impedance, it presents and easily drivable load to most  power amplifiers.

The speaker design is implemented using a “twin drive” magnet system that precisely couples two high-flux neodymium magnets – one for the mid/bass driver and one for the tweeter, creating a fully symmetrical magnetic field that according to Jones “eliminates flux modulation for extremely low intermodulation distortion (IMD) and accurate reproduction”. 

The internally braced 50 liter cabinet (14.5″ x 22.5″ x 16.6″) is manufactured from 1″ thick MDF panels for its top, bottom, sides and rear that also sports two bass reflex ports and connectors. The front panel is sculptured from a 2″ thick panel in order to reduce defraction effects.
