Short answer: the Monoprice SW-15 for large-room bass, the KEF KC62 for placement flexibility. The SW-15 is a 15-inch ported sub with 600W RMS (800W peak) that earns a Large-room Bassaholic rating, but it is budget-tier, depends on ported room gain, weighs 30 kg (66.1 lbs) and has limited dynamic headroom. The KC62 stays ultra-compact with dual 6.5-inch force-canceling drivers and 1000W.
Buy the Monoprice SW-15. It is rated higher for sound quality than the KEF KC62 and costs less, so only choose the other one for a particular feature it does better.
