Short answer: the Klipsch Flexus Sub 100. It ranks #22 of 73 subwoofers by sound quality, rated 3.4/5, at $349. The Monoprice Premium Select 8in 200-Watt ranks #46, rated 3.2/5, at $224.99, $124.01 cheaper, which does not close the gap in sound quality.
The case for the Monoprice Premium Select 8in 200-Watt: A low cost ported 8 inch subwoofer with a 200 watt amp, an easy entry point for a first subwoofer. Watch for: Very compact 18.5 lbs (8.4 kg) size, limited 106.4 dB output, ported room interaction, and entry-level build.
Why pick the Klipsch Flexus Sub 100: A compact sealed 10 inch subwoofer made to add bass to a Klipsch Flexus soundbar in a small room. The catch: Only works with Klipsch Flexus soundbars, not as a standalone LFE sub.
Buy the Klipsch Flexus Sub 100. It is rated higher for sound quality, and the $124.01 you would save on the Monoprice Premium Select 8in 200-Watt does not close the gap.
