Ophidian Mojo 2
Compact yet remarkably expansive, the Mojo 2 combines precise imaging, rich natural midrange and tight, controlled bass for an involving near-field listen. Craig Joyce found its shimmering treble, vivid dynamics and finely resolved detail make music feel far larger than its cabinet suggests, while its handsome British-built finish completes a seriously accomplished small standmount.

What Reviewers Are Saying
SOUND QUALITY PERFORMANCE 91/100
The Mojo 2 is described as an unusually complete and involving compact speaker, combining warmth and richness with high resolution, strong stereo precision, and an energetic, emotionally communicative presentation. Its best results require a capable, high-current amplifier, but the review finds it adept across a wide range of music and notably bigger-sounding than its dimensions suggest.
Bass
89/100
For a cabinet using compact 115mm mid-bass drivers, the Mojo 2 delivers notably deep, full and controlled low frequencies. The review praises tight, impactful beats and says complex or bass-heavy material remains precise rather than muddy, while noting that a gutsy amplifier is needed to realise its full bass capability.
Mid
93/100
The midrange is a major strength, described as full-bodied, rich and natural in tone. Acoustic guitar, piano, saxophone and breathy vocal details are said to come through with convincing texture, clarity and authenticity.
Treble
91/100
High frequencies are reported to have shimmering clarity and precise retrieval of fine detail. The review highlights the speaker's ability to reveal delicate synth textures and instrumental nuances without suggesting glare or hardness.
Soundstage Imaging
93/100
Stereo presentation is singled out as exceptional, with instruments placed and moved precisely within an enveloping soundstage. The mirror-image layout also offers useful flexibility for optimising the stereo image in near-field setups.
Dynamics
91/100
The Mojo 2 is described as vibrant, engaging and capable of handling dynamic shifts skilfully. It maintains clarity from muted piano thuds to metallic twangs, while its lively character gives music satisfying momentum for such a small standmount.
Assessments of Build Quality, Usability, and Overall Propositions.
Build Quality
90/100
The review calls overall build quality very good and particularly praises the attractive oak and walnut finishes. It also notes carefully developed crossover work using Mundorf components and the distinctive Aeroflex loading arrangement, although there is little comment on long-term durability.
Value for Money
85/100
At £1,395, the Mojo 2 sits in a premium compact-standmount segment. The review strongly praises its performance and finish, but does not directly compare its price with competing speakers or make a clear value claim.

Manufacturer's Description — Ophidian
MOJO 2 features a dual driver layout which allows it to deliver a fuller sound than its smaller counterpart MINIMO.
AEROFLEX technology enables this compact speaker to produce deeper and more controlled bass notes than its size would suggest by reducing port velocity and ensuring the mid-bass unit is properly supported throughout its stroke.
The symmetrical driver layouts of each pair allow the tweeters to be placed either inboard or outboard which provides flexibility in room placement and fine tuning of the stereo image.
A 27mm tweeter with a Sonolex coated fabric diaphragm and low distortion neodymium motor system provides smooth high frequencies without inducing listener fatigue.
The close placement of the tweeter and mid-bass units creates seamless integration through the critical crossover region and lifelike, realistic sound reproduction.
By building the port systems directly into the cabinet structure the outer walls are braced and strengthened minimising panel resonances.
Features
• Dual 115mm coated paper midbass with powerful motor systems
• 27mm neodymium high frequency unit with a Sonolex coated fabric diaphragm
• AEROFLEX port system for a precisely controlled bass performance
• Detachable magnetic protective grilles
