Short answer: the JTR Captivator 212PRO, the #1 of 212 subwoofer here. It pairs a dual 12-inch ported cabinet with a 1200W DSP amp, but costs $2,799 against $1,579.95 for the KEF KC62 and its 70.5 lbs (32 kg) frame plus ported design demand room integration. The KC62 is the opposite approach: dual 6.5-inch force-canceling drivers and 1000W in an ultra-compact, basketball-sized sealed enclosure.
Buy the JTR Speakers Captivator 212PRO. It is rated higher for sound quality, and the $1,219.05 you would save on the KEF KC62 does not close the gap.
