Short answer: the ELAC PS350. It ranks #121 of 212 subwoofers by sound quality, rated 3.6/5, at $1,698. The MartinLogan Abyss 10 ranks #190, rated 3.2/5, at $1,519.99, $178.01 cheaper, a saving that is not big enough to make up the sound-quality gap.
The ELAC PS350 is the better-sounding choice. 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.
The case for the MartinLogan Abyss 10: A compact sealed 10 inch subwoofer with two passive radiators, app control, wireless streaming and built in room correction. The catch: Most controls, including low-pass frequency and phase, require the smartphone app, with sparse physical controls on the unit itself.
Buy the ELAC PS350. It is rated higher for sound quality, and the $178.01 saving on the MartinLogan Abyss 10 is not enough to make up the difference.
