Short answer: the KEF KC62, if you are buying new. The JL Audio Fathom f110 ranks higher than it (#201 vs #212 of 212 subwoofers, 3.0/5 vs 2.5/5) but is discontinued, so only consider it used; the KEF KC62 is still sold new at $1,579.95.
The JL Audio Fathom f110 is the better-sounding pick. A discontinued compact sealed 10 inch subwoofer with built in room optimization, an 18 band EQ and a deep gloss finish. Watch for: Output of 103.2dB average from 40 to 80Hz is low for its cabinet, which weighs 67 lbs (30.4 kg).
Why pick the KEF KC62: A tiny sealed subwoofer with two opposing 6.5 inch drivers and placement EQ presets, sized to fit almost any room’s decor. The tradeoff: A hard limiter caps low bass as you turn it up: at 85 to 90dB it plays about 74dB at 20Hz, 6dB below the KEF KF92, and 10Hz output is about 15dB lower.
Buy the KEF KC62, since the JL Audio Fathom f110 is discontinued and only worth hunting down used.
