#93 Arendal 1961 Subwoofer 1V: $1,200 eBay
Pros: Independent CEA-2010 testing records 104.3 dB at 20 Hz and 116.0 dB through 40-80 Hz. The ported, rear enclosure with 12” (305mm) driver delivers substantial upper-bass output for movie effects and music.
Cons: 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. The 544.8H x 389.9W x 499.9D mm cabinet and 36.1 kg mass still require deliberate placement and calibration.
How it compares: Just above it: Paradigm Prestige 2000SW - $1299 more. Just below it: Monoprice Monolith 12 THX Ultra - $299 more.
