Short answer: both are discontinued, and they are rated the same for sound quality (#24 and #25 of 73 subwoofers). Either one is only an option used, so choose on condition and price. If you want one new, the GoldenEar ForceField 30 replaces the GoldenEar ForceField 3 and is rated 3.4/5 at $599.99.
Buy the GoldenEar ForceField 3 or the MartinLogan Dynamo 700w, whichever you find used in better condition; both are discontinued. For a new speaker, buy the GoldenEar ForceField 30, which replaces the GoldenEar ForceField 3.
