Power Range
Power
range is the range of input power in watts RMS that a loudspeaker is designed to handle. While using an amplifier within this range ensures the nominal performance , inputting a power that is higher than the max wattage can result in a damaged speaker.
Keep in mind that a higher max power handling value doesn't necessarily make that a louder speaker
compared to a lower max handling speaker. Loudness or the sound level is also impacted by parameters
such as Impedance, sensitivity and system efficiencies.
Input Type and Bi-Amping / Bi-Wiring
SourcePoint 10 features Post type posts and Mission 770 has a Post type posts. None of these speakers feature bi-amping/bi-wiring.

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 Mission 770 is approximately 841.0cm2 / 130.4inch2. The SourcePoint 10 requires 85% more surface area than the Mission 770 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 Mission 770 weighs 27.20kg / 59.8lbs. This makes the Mission 770 30% heavier than the SourcePoint 10.
