Short answer: the Dynaudio Evoke 10. It ranks #30 of 179 bookshelf speakers by sound quality, rated 4.0/5, at $1,399; the DALI Rubikore 2 ranks #181, rated 3.2/5, and costs $4,500, so there is little reason to consider the other one.
The case for the Dynaudio Evoke 10: Compact bookshelf speakers with a Cerotar soft dome tweeter and 14cm woofer, rated for fairly deep bass for their size. The catch: No independent measurements yet, so its tonal balance and directivity can’t be compared directly with measured speakers; the rating is estimated from its measured predecessor.
Why pick the DALI Rubikore 2: A premium DALI standmount with a soft dome tweeter and wood fiber woofer, sharing its drivers with a well measured tower sibling. The tradeoff: No independent measurements yet, so its tonal balance and directivity can’t be compared directly with measured speakers; the rating is estimated from the measured DALI Rubikore 6, whose score dropped to 4.93 when measured 30 degrees off-axis because DALI voices its speakers to be listened to without toe-in.
Buy the Dynaudio Evoke 10. It is rated higher for sound quality than the DALI Rubikore 2 and costs less, so only choose the other one for a particular feature it does better.
About the ratings: neither speaker has been measured yet, so both ratings are estimated from measured siblings and predecessors (likely ranges: Dynaudio Evoke 10 3.7 to 4.3; DALI Rubikore 2 2.8 to 3.6). Treat this verdict as provisional.
