Short answer: the ELAC PS350. It ranks #121 of 212 subwoofers by sound quality (rated 3.6/5) at $1,698 and is still sold new; the JL Audio Fathom f110 ranks #201 (rated 3.0/5) and is discontinued, so it is only an option used.
The ELAC PS350 is the better-sounding option. A 12 inch ported subwoofer with automatic room EQ and a phone app that can manage several subwoofers together. The catch: Output drops quickly below 31.5Hz, reaching 99.4dB at 25Hz and 85.5dB at 20Hz, so the deepest movie effects are weak despite the 24Hz rating.
Why pick the JL Audio Fathom f110: A discontinued compact sealed 10 inch subwoofer with built in room optimization, an 18 band EQ and a deep gloss finish. Watch for: Output of 103.2dB average from 40 to 80Hz is low for its cabinet, which weighs 67 lbs (30.4 kg).
Buy the ELAC PS350. It is rated higher for sound quality; the JL Audio Fathom f110 is no longer sold new.
