Short answer: the MoFi SourcePoint 10. It ranks #27 of 222 bookshelf speakers by sound quality, rated 4.4/5, at $3,795. The Sonus Faber Lumina II ranks #158, rated 3.4/5, at $1,600, $2,195 cheaper, not enough of a saving to outweigh the sound-quality gap.
Why pick the Sonus Faber Lumina II: Handmade Italian bookshelf speakers with leather-wrapped cabinets, competitive bass for their size and flexible placement. The catch: Not a neutral speaker: has a persistent high-frequency boost/lift that makes it sound forward and bright, present whether pointed directly at the listener or toed out.
The MoFi SourcePoint 10 is the better-sounding option. 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.
Buy the MoFi SourcePoint 10. It is rated higher for sound quality, and saving $2,195 with the Sonus Faber Lumina II does not make up for the sound-quality gap.
