Overall, the 14" already has very good power, great extension, and is the best value as it's currently competing with other $1,000-$1,500 subs on the market. It's also about the biggest subwoofer I can pick up and carry myself, I probably wouldn't be able to get my arms under/around the 16" to pick it up off the ground and move it across the house if needed as it's quite a bit bigger (120L vs. 168L) and you can't slide these subs on their rubber feet.
Here is the frequency response comparison between the RP-1400 and RP-1600 (check the 4th image at the top): https://www.reddit.com/r/homethea...subs

If memory serves, I always see comments about something wrong with purchasing this from Adorama. Whether it be shipping nightmares, retailer credit instead of refunds, etc.
Just mentioning it...

They were released with a lot of fanfare to tackle other brands like SVS, but sadly the port chuffing is significant. I expect these to be redesigned in the not so distant future.

FRONT-FIRING SLOT PORT WITH EXCLUSIVE INTERNAL FLARE TECHNOLOGY
Proprietary internal geometry with a new Aerofoil slot port design minimizes port noise for clean undistorted low frequencies. The front-firing design allows for placement flexibility.

What disappoints me the most is pricing. For a new model the discount level of almost 50% does indicate the real price point / value of this sub. Good overall performance but does lack the level of adjustment that other subs offer. digging deeper inside you will find that the construction items like bracing are not up to other more expensive subs, so definitely built to a price point.
