Adding a small subwoofer for music in 2020

I see a few old posts considering small subwoofers, but I wanted to resurrect this topic for 2020.

I have a small office (8x10). I have zu cubes, and a heaven11 billie and small tube amp I like to switch between.
The cubes need a sub but I have limited space. The Billie has a pre out, the small tube amp only has speaker output.

Ideally I would get something that has both high level as well as low level inputs. I haven’t found a lot of truly small units that offer this. So far the only thing jumping out at me is the Velodyne microvee. I like the features of Rythmik, but their 12" units seem too big. JLaudio discontinued their d108.

Anything else in a small sub to round out music I should consider?

“After checking with my local hifi shop I picked up a Rel T/5i from them.
I hooked it up using the included high level cable (bare wire to speakon), and following their procedure it integrated very easily and sounds great.”

No surprises here, as expected. Glad to hear you found what you were looking for, no fuss no muss 😊

mjd,

Glad to hear that the Rel T/5i worked as well for you as it did for me.

The JL Audio D108 is still in the line up. However I have the D110. For $200 more it's a much better sub. I have it in a small room.
