Short answer: the PSB Alpha P5. It ranks #62 of 179 bookshelf speakers by sound quality, rated 3.6/5, at $549; the Dynaudio Emit 10 ranks #91, rated 3.2/5, and costs $599, which makes this an easy call rather than a real tradeoff.
What the Dynaudio Emit 10 does well: 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 PSB Alpha P5 is the better-sounding pick. Compact bookshelf speakers with a smooth direct response and broad dispersion that pair well with a subwoofer. Watch for: Measured sensitivity is low at roughly 84dB, and the underdamped bass alignment (Q 0.42) trades some weight for control.
Buy the PSB Alpha P5. It is rated higher for sound quality than the Dynaudio Emit 10 and costs less, so it is the default pick unless a specific strength of the other one matters more to you.
Worth knowing: the Dynaudio Emit 10 has not been measured yet. Its rating is estimated from related models, with a likely range of 3.0 to 3.4, so treat this verdict as provisional.
