Short answer: the Audio First Fidelia. It ranks #1 of 179 bookshelf speakers by sound quality (rated 4.8/5); the Ascend Acoustics Luna V2 Mini-Monitor Titan ranks #10 (rated 4.3/5).
Why pick the Ascend Acoustics Luna V2 Mini-Monitor Titan: A tiny, affordable bookshelf speaker with accurate sound, a big soundstage for its size and a seven year warranty. The catch: On axis deviation measures 0.599dB average, a comparatively rough figure for this driver class, so a listener sitting dead center is more likely to notice unevenness than with the RAAL ribbon version of this same cabinet.
The Audio First Fidelia is the more accurate, deeper-bass option. An excellent medium bookshelf speaker, a compact kit with remarkably accurate sound and good bass for its size at a great value. Its measured preference score, a predictor of how neutral it sounds, is 6.45 against 5.17 for the Ascend Acoustics Luna V2 Mini-Monitor Titan. Its bass reaches about 53Hz before falling 3dB, against 74.7Hz for the Ascend Acoustics Luna V2 Mini-Monitor Titan. The tradeoff: Kit assembly required; lower sensitivity (~83-85 dB vs. typical 85 dB average) demands adequate amplifier power.
