Short answer: the SVS 3000 Micro. It ranks #6 of 73 subwoofers by sound quality (rated 3.7/5) at $799 and is still sold new; the Monitor Audio BRW10 ranks #37 (rated 3.3/5) and is discontinued, so it is only an option used.
The SVS 3000 Micro is the better-sounding pick. A tiny sealed subwoofer with two opposing 8 inch drivers, small enough to tuck beside furniture while adding upper bass weight. The catch: Deep-bass output is more limited than the strong 40-80 Hz result suggests, so it is not the right choice when the lowest movie effects are the priority.
Why pick the Monitor Audio BRW10: A discontinued ported 10 inch subwoofer that adds upper bass punch to movies and music in a modest room. The tradeoff: Deep-bass output is more limited than the strong 40-80 Hz result suggests, so it is not the right choice when the lowest movie effects are the priority.
Buy the SVS 3000 Micro. It is rated higher for sound quality; the Monitor Audio BRW10 is no longer sold new.
