Short answer: the MoFi SourcePoint V10 Master Edition for deep bass without a subwoofer. It extends to approximately 30 Hz in-room on its own, but moderate sensitivity of ~89 dB means amplifier power requirements higher than many alternatives. The Klipsch Forte IV counters with a three-way heritage design and a 12” woofer, and contrary to Klipsch’s classic reputation it is not forward or bright.
Buy the MoFi SourcePoint V10 Master Edition. It is rated higher for sound quality, and the $2,495.02 saving on the Klipsch Forte IV is not enough to make up the difference.
