Short answer: the Monitor Audio Silver 50 8G, if you are buying new. The Monitor Audio Silver 50 7G ranks higher than the Dynaudio Emit 10 (#16 vs #91 of 179 bookshelf speakers) but is discontinued; its replacement, the Monitor Audio Silver 50 8G, is rated 4.2/5 at $1,250 and is still sold new.
The case for the Dynaudio Emit 10: Two way bookshelf speakers with a Cerotar soft dome tweeter, a 14cm woofer and magnetic grilles. The tradeoff: No independent measurements yet, so its sound can’t be compared with ranked speakers.
The Monitor Audio Silver 50 7G is the better-sounding choice. An award winning compact bookshelf speaker with accurate sound, a gold dome tweeter and good bass weight for its size. The catch: The on axis response trends noticeably upward toward the treble (rising about 0.5dB per octave, a steep tilt), which can read as bright on already bright recordings.
Buy the Monitor Audio Silver 50 8G, the replacement for the discontinued Monitor Audio Silver 50 7G; it is rated higher for sound quality than the Dynaudio Emit 10.
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.
