Anecdotally I’d go sealed for music. You don’t need to go down to 15Hz for hifi, should have tighter more musical bass too. The bigger one is also too big to put under a bench seat 😉
My 12” sealed sub did fine in our open plan living / kitchen with high ceilings and suspended floors. Speaking of which, it’s now been retired so if you’d like to try it out you’re very welcome.

I have a pair of BKs, the double 10” sealed jobs, paired with the Heresies snd they’re excellent, no lack of depth at all and very crisp, no bloat if you dial it in right.
I called them and asked about sealed v ported and they advised only to go ported for AV setups.

@ChasnotRobert
i have a cunning plan for @dbr to make a bench seat kind of thing, under which will be a sub.
so in answer to the inevitable question from my nearest and dearest about why i have bought another speaker, i will be able to confirm that it is definitely not another speaker.
oh no, it is definitely something else.
but which sub?

I'm thinking that the top one, slightly smaller, sealed box is going to be best but interested in other views.
Room is not huge, roughly 5mx4m, high ceiling, suspended floor.
edit: purely for 2 channel stereo, no AV set up.
