Short answer: the Rythmik LV12. It ranks #8 of 212 subwoofers by sound quality, rated 4.2/5, at $899. The KEF Kube 10 MIE ranks #11, rated 3.7/5, at $699.99, $199.01 cheaper, not enough of a saving to outweigh the sound-quality gap.
What the KEF Kube 10 MIE does well: A sealed 10 inch subwoofer with a 300 watt amp and bass processing, easy to place and suited to music. The tradeoff: No independent measurements yet, so its output can’t be compared with ranked subwoofers.
Why pick the Rythmik LV12: A great value 12 inch servo controlled subwoofer with deep bass and switchable tuning for depth or loudness. The tradeoff: At 495 by 381 by 470mm and 69 lbs (31.3 kg) it is a large, heavy cabinet for a 12 inch subwoofer.
Buy the Rythmik LV12. It is rated higher for sound quality, and the $199.01 you would save on the KEF Kube 10 MIE does not close the gap.
About the ratings: the KEF Kube 10 MIE’s rating is estimated from measured siblings and predecessors rather than its own measurements, with a likely range of 3.5 to 3.9, so this verdict could change once it is measured.
