Short answer: the Dynaudio Emit 10 is the newer model that replaces the Dynaudio Emit M10, but only the Dynaudio Emit M10 has been measured and ranked so far, so this comparison is on specs and features rather than sound. The Dynaudio Emit M10 is discontinued, so it is now a used buy.
What the Dynaudio Emit 10 offers: A two-way bookshelf speaker with a 28mm Cerotar soft-dome tweeter and a 14cm MSP mid-bass driver, crossed over at 3,700Hz.
What the Dynaudio Emit M10 brings: CEA2034 spinorama shows impressive, headphone-level distortion through the midrange and tweeter at 86dB SPL, with a well-executed port that keeps resonance low below the crossover.
On paper: The Dynaudio Emit M10 is rated down to 50Hz against 64Hz, though makers quote these at different tolerances. The Dynaudio Emit 10 is more sensitive, 86dB against 83.5dB, so it needs less amplifier power to play loud.
Price: the Dynaudio Emit 10 lists at $599 and the Dynaudio Emit M10 at $800.
Buy the Dynaudio Emit M10 if you want a speaker whose sound quality has been measured and ranked. It also has deeper rated bass.
Buy the Dynaudio Emit 10 if you want the newer model, with higher sensitivity, and you can wait for measurements to confirm how it sounds.

The Two Speakers In Full
Dynaudio Emit 10: $599.00 per pair Amazon eBay
Older model: the Dynaudio Emit M10 (rated 3/5).
Pros: A two-way bookshelf speaker with a 28mm Cerotar soft-dome tweeter and a 14cm MSP mid-bass driver, crossed over at 3,700Hz. Dynaudio rates it at 64Hz-25kHz within 3dB, 86dB sensitivity and 6 ohms, with a rear double-flared port. Magnetic grilles are included.
Cons: No independent measurements yet, so its sound can’t be compared with ranked speakers. The rear port needs some space from the wall, and 86dB sensitivity asks for a reasonably powerful amplifier.

Dynaudio Emit M10: $800 per pair Discontinued eBay
Newer model: the Dynaudio Emit 10. It’s likely to perform similarly, though we don’t have measurements to confirm that yet.
Pros: CEA2034 spinorama shows impressive, headphone-level distortion through the midrange and tweeter at 86dB SPL, with a well-executed port that keeps resonance low below the crossover. 28mm soft dome tweeter and 14cm MSP mid/bass driver. Measured bass extension of 60.1Hz (-3dB), with a measured sensitivity of 83.5dB.
Cons: 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. His verdict: cheaper speakers deliver much more balanced tonality, so he wouldn’t buy it for himself. Discontinued.
