Short answer: the ELAC IW-S10EQ in-wall. It ranks #27 of 73 subwoofers by sound quality, rated 3.4/5, at $2,199. The JL Audio Dominion d108 ranks #58, rated 2.9/5, at $1,000, $1,199 cheaper, a saving that is not big enough to make up the sound-quality gap.
The ELAC IW-S10EQ in-wall is the better-sounding option. A 10 inch in-wall subwoofer with adjustable EQ for a flush install where a floor cabinet will not fit. The tradeoff: Requires in-wall installation, limited output vs standalone cabinets, and space constraints for placement.
What the JL Audio Dominion d108 does well: A compact sealed 8 inch subwoofer under 30 cm tall that adds upper bass support to a modest room. Watch for: Deep-bass output is limited relative to its midbass result, so it is not the right choice for the lowest movie effects.
Buy the ELAC IW-S10EQ in-wall. It is rated higher for sound quality, and saving $1,199 with the JL Audio Dominion d108 does not make up for the sound-quality gap.
