Looking for a good small subwoofer...

A friend bought two smallish horn speakers, wants to beef up the bass with a pair of small subs, (preferably piano black) with built in amps and active crossovers to send line-level high-pass signal back to his EL84 class-A amp to the main  speakers.
These aren't going to get super loud, just fill in some low bass.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Steve.

Small is either the SVS micro or the KEF KC62. Only one of Dem has a remote app for easy blending.

Most other suggestions here are inappropriate.

GoldenEar ForceField 30 - 8" Compact Subwoofer - Black $900.00 Add to Cart GoldenEar ForceField 40 - 10" Compact Subwoofer - Black $1,200.00

This combination of art, science, and scoping out the competition is one big reason they have been able to consistently produce so many award-winning products, including mammoth subwoofers, over the years.

Excellent review in Stereophile

The SVS SB-2000 sealed subs were $499 del'd again just recently and a superb steal for that. I have two from a year or so ago and and they're great. There are some other great inexpensive sub mfrs out there as well. Two small SVS sealed subs would be nice I think.

(Also have one SVS SB-3000 and REL Storm III in the room for 4 ttl, D.B.A.)
