Short answer: the ELAC IW-S10EQ in-wall, if you are buying new. The Polk Audio PSW10 measures as well as it (#23 vs #27 of 73 subwoofers, 3.4/5 vs 3.4/5) but is discontinued, so only consider it used; the ELAC IW-S10EQ in-wall is still sold new at $2,199.
Buy the ELAC IW-S10EQ in-wall, since the Polk Audio PSW10 is discontinued and only worth hunting down used.
