Short answer: the Meyer Sound Amie. It ranks #64 of 119 powered bookshelf speakers by sound quality (rated 4.2/5) at $8,200 and is still sold new; the Dynaudio Core 47 ranks #75 (rated 4.1/5) and is discontinued, so it is only an option used.
What the Meyer Sound Amie does well: Professional nearfield monitors with a reasonably even midrange, best paired with a subwoofer in a dedicated studio setup. The catch: Measured -3dB extension is 48.3Hz, so full-range monitoring benefits from bass support.
Why pick the Dynaudio Core 47: A professional three-way studio monitor with useful bass and flexible installation controls, with analog and digital inputs. The catch: The measured 3.1dB response span from 300Hz to 5kHz and listening-window unevenness keep it below the leading accuracy choices.
Buy the Meyer Sound Amie. It is rated higher for sound quality and still sold new, while the Dynaudio Core 47 is discontinued.
