Short answer: the Ascend Acoustics CMT-340 SE2. Both are rated 4.4/5 for sound quality (#24 and #27 of 222 bookshelf speakers), and the Ascend Acoustics CMT-340 SE2 costs $798 against $3,795 for the MoFi SourcePoint 10, so with nothing between them on sound quality, price settles it.
The Ascend Acoustics CMT-340 SE2 is the more accurate choice. A dual woofer bookshelf speaker with accurate sound, high sensitivity, and lots of clean output, a superb partner for a subwoofer at a modest price. Its measured preference score, a predictor of how neutral it sounds, is 5.33 against 4.16 for the MoFi SourcePoint 10. The tradeoff: Bass rolls off early for the cabinet size, measuring 77.6Hz at -3dB, 64.5Hz at -6dB, and 48.3Hz at -12dB; the preference score without a subwoofer is only 5.33.
The MoFi SourcePoint 10 is the deeper-bass option. A large bookshelf speaker with a 10 inch concentric driver that acts like a point source, with a huge soundstage and strong, clean dynamics. Its bass reaches about 56Hz before falling 3dB, against 77.6Hz for the Ascend Acoustics CMT-340 SE2. The catch: Like virtually all coincident designs, sounds notably bright pointed directly on-axis due to a deliberate treble lift (meant to compensate for the 28mm tweeter’s earlier beaming versus a typical 25mm/1” tweeter) combined with a diffraction dip/peak from the waveguide edge; needs about 15° of toe-out to sound neutral, and even then benefits from an extra 1-2dB of treble EQ.
Buy the Ascend Acoustics CMT-340 SE2. Both are rated the same for sound quality, and it costs $2,997 less than the MoFi SourcePoint 10.
