Short answer: the MoFi SourcePoint 10 on measured sound quality, the KEF Q3 Meta on price. The MoFi SourcePoint 10 ranks #27 of 222 bookshelf speakers, rated 4.4/5, at $3,795. The KEF Q3 Meta ranks #156, rated 3.4/5, at $764.97, $3,030.03 cheaper.
The KEF Q3 Meta is the more accurate option. Coaxial bookshelf speakers with very wide dispersion, punchy kick drums and bass tuning that works close to a wall. Its measured preference score, a predictor of how neutral it sounds, is 4.66 against 4.16 for the MoFi SourcePoint 10. The catch: Not well suited to high-output use: compression and strain in the 1-2kHz region emerge above about 90dB at 10 feet, so a high-output home theater setup isn’t the best application.
The MoFi SourcePoint 10 is the better-sounding choice. A large bookshelf speaker with a 10 inch concentric driver that acts like a point source, with a huge soundstage and strong, clean dynamics. Watch for: Like virtually all coincident designs, sounds notably bright pointed directly on-axis due to a deliberate treble lift (meant to compensate for the 28mm tweeter’s earlier beaming versus a typical 25mm/1” tweeter) combined with a diffraction dip/peak from the waveguide edge; needs about 15° of toe-out to sound neutral, and even then benefits from an extra 1-2dB of treble EQ.
Buy the KEF Q3 Meta if the price is the priority over sound quality, or the MoFi SourcePoint 10 if sound quality is the priority over the price.
