Subwoofer advice

So looking to add a new component (or 2) to my system (Snell Type D, McCormack .5 or Jolida 502b, Schiit Saga pre, Rega Planet, Dual 1219 TT) and contemplating a sub.  Basement room is 14'w x 30'l x 7.5'h and treated with first reflection points and base traps on front wall.  Interested in the REL T series, either the T7i or T9i.  The Snells have 8" woofers so not sure the T7i at 8" will make a significant difference.  The room might be too big as well.  So it might have to be the T9i at 10".  Looking to supplement clean low end not anything bloated or overbearing.  

Any thoughts greatly appreciated!

Budget suggestion:
I’m not sure if/how many they still have, but I just picked up an SVS-SB12-NSD (close-out prior model) from ListenUp in Denver for $399 shipped to Texas. It is kind of between their current SB1000 and SB2000.
It is not a beast or able to plumb the depths like my 2 SB13 Ultras in my main system, but it is a nice little add to my 2nd system. May just get another one or two for distributed bass-see above. Been breaking it in overnight(s) with a 30 hz sine wave (youtube) at medium volume for 10 hours at a time; quite the driver workout. Good luck.
