Short answer: the Magico Audio ASUB, if you are buying new. The Genelec 7070A measures as well as it (#136 vs #137 of 143 subwoofers, 3.6/5 vs 3.6/5) but is discontinued, so only consider it used; the Magico Audio ASUB is still sold new at $9,000. The Genelec 7070A’s replacement, the Genelec 7370A, is rated 3.6/5 at $4,195.
Why pick the Magico Audio ASUB: A compact luxury sealed 10 inch subwoofer with XLR and RCA inputs plus a through output. The tradeoff: Deep-bass output is more limited than the strong 40-80 Hz result suggests, so it is not the right choice when the lowest movie effects are the priority.
The case for the Genelec 7070A: A down ported 12 inch studio subwoofer with six channel bass management through balanced XLR, now discontinued. The tradeoff: Deep-bass output is more limited than the strong 40-80 Hz result suggests, so it is not the right choice when the lowest movie effects are the priority.
Buy the Magico Audio ASUB if you want one new; the Genelec 7070A is discontinued, so only look for it used.
