Short answer: the Klipsch The Sevens. It ranks #108 of 119 powered bookshelf speakers by sound quality, rated 3.7/5, at $649.12; the EVE Audio SC305 ranks #111, rated 3.6/5, and costs $1,785.30, so there is not much of a tradeoff to weigh.
Why pick the EVE Audio SC305: A compact horizontal three way studio monitor with an AMT tweeter, analog inputs and onboard tone adjustment. The tradeoff: The 3.66 standalone and 6.03 ideal-subwoofer scores, together with a 3.9dB response span from 300Hz to 5kHz, indicate significant native tonal unevenness.
Why pick the Klipsch The Sevens: A powered stereo pair for TV and music with HDMI, phono, optical, USB and Bluetooth inputs plus a subwoofer output. It keeps a wired aux input, which the EVE Audio SC305 lacks. The catch: The review found a recessed 2-4kHz region and upper-treble emphasis, producing a scooped balance that a simple treble reduction did not fully fix.
Buy the Klipsch The Sevens. It is rated higher for sound quality than the EVE Audio SC305 and costs less, so only choose the other one for a particular feature it does better.
