Short answer: the MoFi SourcePoint 10, and it is the higher-ranked speaker. It sits at #27 of 222 against #146 of 222 for the GR-Research X-LS Encore. The SourcePoint 10’s Andrew Jones-designed concentric driver delivers best-in-class sound power and early-reflections directivity, though it sounds notably bright pointed directly on-axis; the X-LS Encore is cheaper but uneven in the bass on-axis.
Buy the MoFi SourcePoint 10. It is rated higher for sound quality, and the $2,495 you would save on the GR-Research X-LS Encore does not close the gap.
