Short answer: the MoFi SourcePoint 10 if sound quality matters most, the SVS Prime Bookshelf if price matters most. The MoFi SourcePoint 10 ranks #27 of 222 bookshelf speakers, rated 4.4/5, at $3,795. The SVS Prime Bookshelf ranks #150, rated 3.5/5, at $599, $3,196 cheaper.
The SVS Prime Bookshelf is the more accurate option. Affordable bookshelf speakers with a sealed woofer compartment, wide even dispersion and reasonable sensitivity. Its measured preference score, a predictor of how neutral it sounds, is 5.17 against 4.16 for the MoFi SourcePoint 10. Watch for: A scooped mid-range paired with a boosted upper mid-range creates an audibly uneven tonal balance, and there’s an additional dip in the treble around 4-5kHz that reads as slightly tinny relative to the recessed mid-range.
The MoFi SourcePoint 10 is the better-sounding, deeper-bass 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. Its bass reaches about 56Hz before falling 3dB, against 72Hz for the SVS Prime Bookshelf. 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 SVS Prime Bookshelf if the price is the priority over sound quality, or the MoFi SourcePoint 10 if sound quality is the priority over the price.
