Short answer: the MoFi SourcePoint V10 Master Edition. It ranks #4 of 228 floorstanding speakers by sound quality (rated 4.8/5) at $7,995 and is still sold new; the JBL HDI-3800 ranks #26 (rated 4.5/5) and is discontinued, so it is only an option used.
The JBL HDI-3800 is the more accurate choice. A horn loaded tower with three 8 inch woofers, deep bass, high sensitivity and huge output for large home theaters. Its measured preference score, a predictor of how neutral it sounds, is 5.62 against 5.00 for the MoFi SourcePoint V10 Master Edition. The catch: On-axis frequency response features a narrow upper-frequency elevation around 8-10kHz, performing noticeably smoother when toed out 10-20° off-axis.
Why pick the MoFi SourcePoint V10 Master Edition: Big floorstanding speakers with a 10 inch coaxial driver, precise imaging and bass deep enough to skip a subwoofer. The tradeoff: Moderate sensitivity (~89 dB) means amplifier power requirements higher than many alternatives.
Buy the MoFi SourcePoint V10 Master Edition. It is rated higher for sound quality and still sold new, while the JBL HDI-3800 is discontinued.
