Short answer: the MoFi SourcePoint 10. It ranks #27 of 222 bookshelf speakers by sound quality, rated 4.4/5, at $3,795; the Dynaudio Contour 20i ranks #96, rated 3.9/5, and costs $5,750, which makes this an easy call rather than a real tradeoff.
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. The tradeoff: 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.
Why pick the Dynaudio Contour 20i: Beautifully built bookshelf speakers with wide, spacious sound, clean output at high volume, and bass that blends easily near a wall. Watch for: Notably room-dependent: sounds too bright in the lower treble in smaller rooms with close sidewalls, needing sidewall absorption to sound neutral, while performing better in larger or more open rooms without that treatment.
Buy the MoFi SourcePoint 10. It is rated higher for sound quality than the Dynaudio Contour 20i and costs less, which makes it the one to get unless you need something the other one does better.
