Best musical sub under $1k?

I’m looking at subs under $1k. My mains are KEF LS50 Wireless. The room is about 12’x15’ and the KEFs are on a desk. The sub would go under the desk which is fairly open underneath. I’ve been looking at the SVS SB2000, even the SB12 NSD which is available well under $1k at $400, the REL T/7i and the ML Dynamo 700w sub. I don’t want anything physically large so the HSUs are out.

Thanks for any input.

If you want a real sleeper the old Yamaha YST-SW160 or slightly better SW-305, they are musical subs, that have definition, not HT boom boxes, though they do have a boom (HT) switch, should you want to use it. 
And they are the perfect height for two ways to sit on.
They use twin 8" in them with linear amps, and are also servo controlled, tight, dry, very punchy and go quite low, enough to cause ear concussion.
