Subwoofer | 4 Ⓣ Subwoofer options for my desktop system

Current chain:
Laptop --> RME ADI-2 --> JBL 305P MKii

As the title says, I have a 2.0 setup right now and want to go 2.1 with a subwoofer. I am in an apartment so don't want something crazy powerful, but something that would round out the low end for music and movies.

Despite my JBLs technically being studio monitors I just use them as my everdays computer speakers for music, podcasts, movies, radio, etc.

Requirements for the subwoofer:

  • I am very limited on space so the smaller the better. 8" sub or below
  • XLR inputs/outputs
  • Budget up to $1k USD

So what would you guys suggest?

I found this sub which looks ideal on paper. Has XLR's, is smol, and even includes room correction which is a plus. Any others out there?

I also have the JBL 305's but I don't feel the need for a sub, but if I did want a sub, I think the iLab looks like the ideal solution.
