I'd go with the powered sub and the cat. Just bear in mind that very few powered subs are aesthetically pleasing.
Another option may be to trial some transmission line loudspeakers if you can find some...

Transmission line is a brand?

No, Transmission Line is a style of speaker build

As already mentioned, it's a type of loudspeaker. Good ones can often make much more of the lower frequencies than a typical ported design.
They aren't common because the cabinets are more complicated to make and they are more difficult to model during the design phase. Both of these things can make them comparatively expensive...
However, DIY designs are quite common. And loudspeakers are not difficult to build.
Pre out and power in? Then you can run the pre out to a powered sub that has a high pass filter and run back to the power in. Sub will use lower frequencies and power amp only deals with what's left. I have my thunderbox set up like this though I run to seperate power amps.

My current speakers (old 80s ones) might be too big (physically) for our new lounge.
Might be able to reconfigure furniture a bit, but an excuse to look up speaker porn! Thinking of Q acoustics 3020i to replace them - they look awesome and get great reviews at that price point.

Pre out would be the entire signal, can’t see a return option. I have a powered sub in the tele room, if I can find some old speaker cable and solder some rcas on 1 end I could try that option. I did find a retailer in Melb which does both B&W & NAD so maybe they’re worth a shout, though my speakers are rather old.
My NAD had a loop from pre out to power in. Pulled them and ran through the thunderbox. Now I had a dedicated preamp with sub signal and power amps. Chuck up a pic of the back or the model number.

Hmm, just discovered pre outs can be switched from everything to power amp/ sub out up to 150hz. Probably a good place to start. Still suggests speakers are more difficult than they should be.
Back here, but no loop that I can see https://nadelectronics.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/NAD-C368-Data-Sheet.pdf

No but you do have pre outs for the sub...
Yep, spend your money on a powered sub and a cat.

That would blow the budget for the additional cat
Some good options for under $1k in the shops down there. Have fun!
What type of cat are you looking for?

Well a Maine Coon would provide the best acoustic absorption coverage obviously but I’m leaning towards gaffa taping a tail and some whiskers to that JL audio number @steve jobs' pancreas posted and hoping I get away with it
