Short answer: the MoFi SourcePoint 8. It ranks #17 of 222 bookshelf speakers by sound quality, rated 4.5/5, at $2,594; the Dynaudio Heritage Special ranks #29, rated 4.4/5, and costs $7,000, so there is little reason to consider the other one.
The MoFi SourcePoint 8 is the more accurate pick. A bookshelf speaker with an 8 inch concentric driver, neutral sound, excellent imaging, and wide dispersion that forgives placement. Its measured preference score, a predictor of how neutral it sounds, is 5.15 against 4.32 for the Dynaudio Heritage Special. Watch for: Like other coincident designs, produces diffraction dips around 4kHz and 7kHz when pointed directly on-axis; needs about 10-15° of toe-out to smooth those out.
The case for the Dynaudio Heritage Special: A limited edition bookshelf speaker with huge output for its size, robust bass, and a big, well proportioned soundstage. The catch: At lower listening volumes, dynamic range and kick-drum punch fell short of higher-sensitivity speakers the reviewer has tested (JBL 4367, KEF Reference 1 Meta): the sheer output ceiling is impressive, but it isn’t a highly dynamic-sounding speaker at modest levels.
Buy the MoFi SourcePoint 8. It is rated higher for sound quality than the Dynaudio Heritage Special and costs less, so only choose the other one for a particular feature it does better.
