SourcePoint 10 features a 1.25" wide roll soft dome Tweeter and 1 x 10" Paper-pulp Woofer with a Crossover frequency at 1600 Hz. On the other hand, the Evoke 30 features a 1.1" Cerotar with Hexis Tweeter and 1 x 7" Magnesium Silicate Polymer Woofer with a Crossover frequency at 3200Hz.
Frequency Response
SourcePoint 10 has a frequency range of 42-30k Hz whereas Evoke 30 has a frequency range of 40-23k Hz. With a minimum frequency of 40Hz, the Evoke 30 can go slightly deeper then the SourcePoint 10's min frequency of 42Hz.
The graph below depicts how these two speakers compare with the max, min and average Low Frequency values of other speakers in the Bookshelf class in our database.
Low Frequency
Bookshelf Speakers
Neither pair reaches down to 20Hz, the usual definition of full-range, which is normal for speakers of this size. If you want the bottom octave for movies or bass-heavy music, add a subwoofer to whichever you choose. Visit our Powered Subwoofers section to find out more about the available options.
Impedance and Sensitivity
SourcePoint 10 is a 8 ohms speaker compared to the Evoke 30 which has a nominal impedance of 6 ohms.
These two speakers also have different sensitivity levels. SourcePoint 10 sensitivity is rated at 91dB and the Evoke 30's is rated at 86 dB. This 5 dB difference makes the MoFi SourcePoint 10 a more sensitive speaker compared to Dynaudio Evoke 20, hence will play louder with the same amount of watts.
Sensitivity
Bookshelf Speakers
Power Range
Power
range is the range of input power in watts RMS that a loudspeaker is designed to handle. Staying
within that range gives nominal performance; driving the speaker beyond its maximum wattage can damage it.
SourcePoint 10 can handle a max power of 200 watts RMS, whereas Evoke 30 has a max power handling value of 180 watts RMS, 20 watts less than the SourcePoint 10.
Note that higher power handling does not make a speaker louder: that depends mainly on
sensitivity and impedance. The calculator below shows how loud each of these actually plays
on a real amplifier.
Which plays louder on your amplifier?
Starting with a popular amplifier - change it to the one you own, or any you are
considering, and watch both numbers move.
Input Type and Bi-Amping / Bi-Wiring
SourcePoint 10 features Binding post type posts and Evoke 30 has a Binding post type posts. None of these speakers feature bi-amping/bi-wiring.

Dynaudio Evoke 20's Binding post terminals
Cabinet Type and Port Position
Both SourcePoint 10 and Evoke 30 have rear firing ports. Rear ported speakers generally need more room between the backside of the speaker and the wall compared to sealed and front/bottom ported speakers. Placing the speakers too close to the walls may cause the bass to sound boomy.
If you are limited in space and can't get the speakers away from the backwall, check our Speakers with Front Firing Ports page.
Physical Specs
The size of a speaker can sometimes be an important decision factor due to space constraints or in some cases purely for esthetic reasons. In this section, we are going to compare MoFi SourcePoint 10's and Dynaudio Evoke 20's external dimensions. MoFi SourcePoint 10 has external dimensions of 572.0 x 368.0 x 422.0mm (22.5 x 14.5 x 16 inch) whereas Dynaudio Evoke 20 has external dimensions of 380.0 x 215.0 x 317.0mm (15 x 8.5 x 12.1inch).
MoFi SourcePoint 10 is clearly the larger of the two speakers. Its body is 153mm wider, 192mm taller and 105mm deeper than Dynaudio Evoke 20.

Base Surface Area Comparison
Base surface area of a loudspeaker may become a determining factor when the space in your room or desk is limited.
The base surface area of the MoFi SourcePoint 10 is approximately 1552.0cm2 / 240.6inch2 and base area of the Dynaudio Evoke 20 is approximately 681.6cm2 / 105.6inch2. The SourcePoint 10 requires 128% more surface area than the Evoke 30 which gives it a small disadvantage on placement in tight spaces.
Weight Comparison The weight of a loudspeaker can become an important factor if you need to move and reposition the unit often. Weight of a speaker can also "sometimes" be an indicator of the rigidity of the enclosure and the quality of the internal components used. The MoFi SourcePoint 10 weighs 21.00kg / 46.2lbs and the Dynaudio Evoke 20 weighs 9.90kg / 21.8lbs. This makes the SourcePoint 10 112% heavier than the Evoke 30.
Here is a comparison of how SourcePoint 10 and Evoke 30's weights compare with the average, max and min weights in Passive Bookshelf class.

No single best speaker here - they are built to different priorities, and the right one depends on your room, your amplifier and what you listen to.
| Area | Better | Why |
|---|
| Bass | evenly matched | Much the same reach (42Hz vs 40Hz). |
| Amplifier needs | A | MoFi SourcePoint 10 is more sensitive (91dB vs 86dB), so it goes louder on the same amplifier. |
| Amplifier match | A | MoFi SourcePoint 10 is the easier load at 8 ohms. |
| Headroom | evenly matched | Similar power handling (200W vs 180W). |
| Size | depends | Dynaudio Evoke 20 is easier to place; MoFi SourcePoint 10 is bigger, which usually goes with fuller bass. Your room decides. |
| Price | A | MoFi SourcePoint 10 is cheaper - $3,699 against $4,798, about 23% less. |
A MoFi SourcePoint 10 B Dynaudio Evoke 20
depends neither is better in the abstract - it turns on your room, your system or how you will use them. Only specs published for both speakers are judged; anything missing on either side is left out rather than guessed.
Which should you choose?
MoFi SourcePoint 10 is the easier recommendation: it leads on most of the measured areas and costs less. Take Dynaudio Evoke 20 if its size, looks or fit in your room suit you better. In a large or open-plan room, MoFi SourcePoint 10 has the cabinet volume to fill it more easily; in a small room, near a wall or at desk distance, Dynaudio Evoke 20 is the easier speaker to get right. If your amplifier is modest, vintage or valve-based, MoFi SourcePoint 10 is the safer partner - the other will want more current or more watts to sound its best.
And remember what a spec sheet cannot show: how each looks in your room and whether the finish suits it, what dealer support and warranty are like where you live, and how they actually sound to you. If you can hear them first - ideally with your own music - that will tell you more than any number above.
