Short answer: the SVS SB-3000. It ranks #15 of 212 subwoofers by sound quality (rated 4.1/5) at $1,149 and is still sold new; the RSL (Rogersound Labs) Speedwoofer 10 ranks #92 (rated 3.7/5) and is discontinued, so it is only an option used. The RSL (Rogersound Labs) Speedwoofer 10’s replacement, the RSL (Rogersound Labs) Speedwoofer 10S MKII, is rated 3.6/5 at $499.
The SVS SB-3000 is the better-sounding pick. A well made sealed subwoofer with tight, accurate bass and handy app controls, great for music and medium rooms. Watch for: Being sealed, it gives up deep-bass output: Audioholics measured 96.6dB at 20Hz and 101.7dB at 25Hz, about 15dB behind the ported SVS PB-3000 from the same series, so a large room or reference-level movie bass may call for a second sub.
Why pick the RSL (Rogersound Labs) Speedwoofer 10: An affordable ported 10 inch subwoofer with a cast basket driver and a well braced cabinet, now discontinued. The tradeoff: Output falls to 101.1dB at 25Hz and 93.7dB at 20Hz, so deep movie effects are weak.
Buy the SVS SB-3000. It is rated higher for sound quality and still sold new, while the RSL (Rogersound Labs) Speedwoofer 10 is discontinued.
