Short answer: both are discontinued, and they are rated the same for sound quality (#53 and #52 of 143 subwoofers). Either one is only an option used, so choose on condition and price. If you want one new, the JTR Speakers Orbit Shifter PRO ranks #1 at $4,499.
Why pick the Power Sound Audio (PSA) XV30: A 15 inch rear ported subwoofer with strong deep bass for large rooms in a deep, narrow cabinet. The tradeoff: The 679.4H x 520.7W x 914.4D mm cabinet and 158.1 lbs (71.7 kg) mass make this a serious placement and moving commitment.
The case for the RBH Sound SV-1212PR: A slim, tall sealed dual 12 inch subwoofer with strong deep bass and balanced inputs, easy to fit beside furniture. The tradeoff: The 838H x 386W x 581D mm cabinet and 110 lbs (49.9 kg) mass make this a serious placement and moving commitment.
Buy the Power Sound Audio (PSA) XV30 or the RBH Sound SV-1212PR, whichever you find used in better condition; both are discontinued. For a new speaker, start with the JTR Speakers Orbit Shifter PRO instead.
