The Two Speakers In Full
Genelec 7380A: $6,395 B&H Photo Video eBay
Older model: the Genelec 7071A (rated 3.9/5).
Pros: 15-inch (381mm) driver with an 800W Class D amplifier. Genelec rates it down to 16Hz at -6dB with 119dB short-term and 123dB peak output. Analog XLR inputs and outputs for up to 7.1 bass management plus a separate LFE input, AES/EBU digital input, and GLM network control with room calibration.
Cons: No independent measurements yet, so its output can’t be compared with ranked subwoofers. At 69kg and 718mm wide it needs floor space and two people to move. Room calibration needs Genelec’s GLM kit or 9320A controller, sold separately.

SVS SB-3000: $1,199.00 Amazon eBay
Pros: 13-inch sealed design with 800W RMS (2500W peak) that Audioholics measured at a 118.7dB CEA-2010-A average from 40-80Hz, and rated by SVS at 18-270Hz within ±3dB. Beautifully made with pinpoint control and flawless tonal accuracy. Sweet spot performance-to-value ratio. Three-band parametric EQ with 1Hz precision adjustment.
Cons: Being sealed, it gives up deep-bass output: Audioholics measured 96.6dB at 20Hz and 101.7dB at 25Hz, about 15dB behind the ported SVS PB-3000 from the same series, so a large room or reference-level movie bass may call for a second sub.
