Short answer: the Dynaudio Emit 10. It ranks #91 of 179 bookshelf speakers by sound quality (rated 3.2/5) at $599 and is still sold new; the Dynaudio Emit M10 ranks #111 (rated 3.0/5) and is discontinued, so it is only an option used.
The case for the Dynaudio Emit 10: Two way bookshelf speakers with a Cerotar soft dome tweeter, a 14cm woofer and magnetic grilles. Watch for: No independent measurements yet, so its sound can’t be compared with ranked speakers.
Why pick the Dynaudio Emit M10: A discontinued stand-mount bookshelf speaker with very low distortion and a well-behaved port, voiced with extra bass and treble. The catch: Tuned toward a mild showroom sound with boosted upper bass and treble and a recessed midrange: the reviewer prefers speakers that get the 100Hz-3kHz range right, which this doesn’t.
Buy the Dynaudio Emit 10. It is rated higher for sound quality, and the Dynaudio Emit M10 is discontinued, so it is only available used.
About the ratings: the Dynaudio Emit 10’s rating is estimated from measured siblings and predecessors rather than its own measurements, with a likely range of 3.0 to 3.4, so this verdict could change once it is measured.
