Compact Active Sub... that's also cheap?

I'm looking a compact active sub to go with new Kanto Ora4 speakers on my desk. I'm trying to avoid the "big cube" under the desk that I would probably kick, and I don't think I need a 12" thumper. So, starting with 8"-10" versions, and looking for compact. And I'm trying to stay below $200. Based in the US, so I expect that tariffs have made things tough on that limit.

I've been looking at the Monoprice CSW-8 as a compact that offers just enough (well, barely) bass. I know folks don't love the CSW, so are there any other compact active subs that are near $200 that are worth considering?

The Dayton Audio Sub-1000L is around $210, but it's long; I think they really assume you are putting it under a couch, not a desk. RSL and SVS are out of my range. The Audioengine S6 and the Kanto Sub8 are both cubes, and getting beyond $200.

(Yep, I know, it's physically impossible to get the quality of bass from a compact vs. a cube even with same size woofer; I'm paying more for "compact"; and that the bigger boxes move more air, and tend to have more sensitive parts that improve the quality of the bass. But also, it's partnering with a Kanto Ora4, not a set of KEFs or other "real" audiophile, so I'm willing to suffer a bit til I get more money to invest.)

Suggestions or advice appreciated (like, a cube is ok): my last subwoofer, a Yamaha tower I had in the 90s, is lost in an attic somewhere, so this stuff is kind of new to me; thanks to Redditors for getting me this far!
