Short answer: the Rythmik FV15HP by a hair, with the HSU Research VTF-15H MK2 as the value. The FV15HP’s 15-inch ported driver reaches a 122.0dB CEA-2010-A average, matching subwoofers that cost significantly more, but it carries a premium $2,127 price, depends on room gain, and weighs 52 kg (114.6 lbs). The HSU’s 121.8dB comes with the same ported room-mode caveat at $1,499. The HSU Research VTF-15H MK2 is discontinued; its replacement is the HSU Research VTF-TN1.
Buy the Rythmik FV15HP, since the HSU Research VTF-15H MK2 is discontinued and only worth hunting down used.
