I'm going to regret this, but what the hell...

OK, I'll play.
I have no idea what application you have for these tiny things, but I'm sure you have your reasons. I'm not a pro, but I believe for pro monitoring, you want ruler flat response. Now believe it or not, manytimes this is counter to what actually sounds good for listening to music in a domestic environment. SirTT and Mixadude are engineers, ask them what they use if this is what you are trying to achieve.
The MS16 offers response of (cough) 80hz-20khz, which is pretty lousy as you'll be missing a heck of a lot of information with a cut-off of 80hz. The MA-10a offers a claimed 45hz-35khz which is clearly better, although neither manufacturer states how the measurements were taken and no FR graphs are provided. If you really want to get serious with an active pro monitor, check into Genelec. I've heard these myself and while they won't win any beauty contests, they are serious speakers with serious sound.
Hope this helps.
