Short answer: the Monoprice SW-15. It ranks #14 of 212 subwoofers by sound quality (rated 4.1/5) at $499.99 and is still sold new; the Genelec 7060B ranks #181 (rated 3.3/5) and is discontinued, so it is only an option used. The Genelec 7060B’s replacement, the Genelec 7360A, is rated 3.3/5 at $2,795.
The Monoprice SW-15 is the better-sounding pick. A big 15 inch subwoofer with powerful, punchy bass at a budget price, great for movies in a large room. The tradeoff: Budget-tier design, ported room gain dependency, 66.1 lbs (30 kg) mid-size, and limited dynamic headroom.
The case for the Genelec 7060B: A ported 10 inch studio subwoofer with six channels of balanced bass management for surround mixing rooms. The tradeoff: It is built for studio bass management, so it lacks RCA inputs and is awkward to use in a typical home theater without XLR cabling.
Buy the Monoprice SW-15. It is rated higher for sound quality and still sold new, while the Genelec 7060B is discontinued.
