Short answer: the MoFi SourcePoint 10 for measured directivity, the HiVi Swans kit for cost. The MoFi’s Andrew Jones-designed concentric driver delivers best-in-class sound power and early-reflections directivity, though like virtually all coincident designs it sounds notably bright pointed directly on-axis. The HiVi Swans 3.1A mod’s CEA2034 spinorama is mostly smooth for a DIY three-way kit, with some directivity error around 2.1kHz, and it costs $3,430.01 less.
Buy the HiVi Swans 3.1A Sehlin Sound Solutions mod if the price is the priority over sound quality, or the MoFi SourcePoint 10 if sound quality is the priority over the price.
