Short answer: the MoFi SourcePoint 8 for better sound quality, the ELAC DBR62 for the lower price. The MoFi SourcePoint 8 ranks #17 of 222 bookshelf speakers, rated 4.5/5, at $2,594. The ELAC DBR62 ranks #79, rated 4.0/5, at $699.98, $1,894.02 cheaper.
The MoFi SourcePoint 8 is the better-sounding choice. A bookshelf speaker with an 8 inch concentric driver, neutral sound, excellent imaging, and wide dispersion that forgives placement. 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 ELAC DBR62: An affordable bookshelf speaker that is very forgiving of placement and aiming, with wide sound and a little extra bass punch. The tradeoff: A slight recess in the 1-2kHz region reduces vocal presence somewhat compared to other speakers in direct comparison.
Buy the MoFi SourcePoint 8 if sound quality matters more than the price. Buy the ELAC DBR62 if the price matters more than sound quality.
