Short answer: the SVS 3000 Micro. It ranks #6 of 73 subwoofers by sound quality (rated 3.7/5) at $799 and is still sold new; the MartinLogan Dynamo 700w ranks #25 (rated 3.4/5) and is discontinued, so it is only an option used.
The SVS 3000 Micro is the better-sounding choice. A tiny sealed subwoofer with two opposing 8 inch drivers, small enough to tuck beside furniture while adding upper bass weight. Watch for: 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.
Why pick the MartinLogan Dynamo 700w: A discontinued compact sealed 10 inch subwoofer that adds upper bass weight to movies and music. Watch for: 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.
