Best For house: Polk Audio High end Powered Subwoofer

Buy on Amazon

The polk audio high end powered subwoofer gives the top-tier subwoofer a run for their money by offering flagship specs at a much more affordable price. The Polk PSW10 adds a subtle bass emphasis to all types of music and does not overwhelm. It is perfect solution for your small-to-mid size room. The type of room it is in will GREATLY effect the sound of any sub (carpeted floors, curtains, symmetrical room will make it sound much better), but it does sound a little "boomy" at some frequencies and kind of lacking in others. The controls work as expected, so you can easily contour the response of the subwoofer. It's loud enough for a mid sized room and the sound quality is good for music, movies and games.

The bass is tighter and more responsive.
