Short answer: the Audio Pro C5 MkII. It ranks #1 of 25 powered desktop speakers by sound quality, rated 4.5/5, at $325; the Audio Pro C10 MkII ranks #3, rated 4.3/5, and costs $425, so there is little reason to consider the other one.
Why pick the Audio Pro C5 MkII: At 5.3 lbs (2.4 kg), Audio Pro C5 MkII combines 4” woofer, 2x 0.75” tweeters with Bluetooth, Wifi, RCA. Watch for: Bass is limited by its 50Hz to 20kHz (Manufacturer specified) specification.
Why pick the Audio Pro C10 MkII: The larger sibling of the Audio Pro C5 MkII, with a 5.25” long-throw woofer and two 0.75” textile-dome tweeters driven by 80W, and a specified range of 45Hz to 22kHz, so it plays fuller and deeper than the Audio Pro C5 MkII. Watch for: No independent measurements yet, so its tonal balance and directivity can’t be compared directly with measured speakers; the rating is estimated from the Audio Pro C5 MkII.
Buy the Audio Pro C5 MkII. It is rated higher for sound quality than the Audio Pro C10 MkII and costs less, which makes it the one to get unless you need something the other one does better.
Worth knowing: the Audio Pro C10 MkII has not been measured yet. Its rating is estimated from related models, with a likely range of 3.9 to 4.6, so treat this verdict as provisional.

Audio Pro C10 MkII: $425.00 each Estimated Amazon eBay
Same family: the Audio Pro C5 MkII (smaller model, rated 4.5/5).
Pros: The larger sibling of the Audio Pro C5 MkII, with a 5.25” long-throw woofer and two 0.75” textile-dome tweeters driven by 80W, and a specified range of 45Hz to 22kHz, so it plays fuller and deeper than the Audio Pro C5 MkII. It streams over Wi-Fi with AirPlay 2, Google Cast and Spotify Connect, adds Bluetooth and an RCA input, and has a subwoofer output. Two can pair as a stereo set or join a multiroom system.
Cons: No independent measurements yet, so its tonal balance and directivity can’t be compared directly with measured speakers; the rating is estimated from the Audio Pro C5 MkII. One cabinet with closely spaced tweeters gives only limited stereo separation, and it needs mains power.
