Short answer: the Genelec 7380A, if you are buying new. The Genelec 7071A measures as well as it (#113 vs #122 of 143 subwoofers, 3.9/5 vs 3.9/5) but is discontinued, so only consider it used; the Genelec 7380A is still sold new at $6,395.
What the Genelec 7380A does well: A 15 inch studio subwoofer with high rated output, 7.1 bass management, digital input and network room calibration. The catch: No independent measurements yet, so its output can’t be compared with ranked subwoofers.
The case for the Genelec 7071A: A pro studio subwoofer with dual 12 inch drivers and balanced XLR inputs for large rooms, now discontinued. Watch for: The 754.9H x 802.9W x 490.0D mm cabinet and 178.6 lbs (81.0 kg) mass make this a serious placement and moving commitment.
Buy the Genelec 7380A new; the Genelec 7071A is no longer sold new, so it only makes sense as a used find.
About the ratings: the Genelec 7380A’s rating is estimated from measured siblings and predecessors rather than its own measurements, with a likely range of 3.7 to 4.1, so this verdict could change once it is measured.
