Short answer: the EVE Audio SC305. It ranks #111 of 119 powered bookshelf speakers by sound quality, rated 3.6/5, at $1,785.30; the PMC result6 ranks #117, rated 3.2/5, and costs $3,300, so there is not much of a tradeoff to weigh.
The case for the PMC result6: A professional active monitor with a transmission line cabinet and simple balanced analog input, best paired with a subwoofer. The catch: The measured -3dB point is 67.4Hz, and preference scores of 2.86 standalone and 5.37 with an ideal subwoofer reveal limited native tonal accuracy.
The EVE Audio SC305 is the more accurate choice. A compact horizontal three way studio monitor with an AMT tweeter, analog inputs and onboard tone adjustment. Its measured preference score, a predictor of how neutral it sounds, is 3.66 against 2.86 for the PMC result6. The tradeoff: The 3.66 standalone and 6.03 ideal-subwoofer scores, together with a 3.9dB response span from 300Hz to 5kHz, indicate significant native tonal unevenness.
Buy the EVE Audio SC305. It is rated higher for sound quality than the PMC result6 and costs less, so it is the default pick unless a specific strength of the other one matters more to you.

Frequency Response Compared
Both speakers’ spinorama measurements, overlaid. A flatter line is more neutral: peaks sound forward or harsh, dips sound recessed. Each curve is shifted so its average from 300 Hz to 3 kHz sits at 0 dB, so loudness differences between the two are removed and only the shape is compared.
