One eD A2-300 or Two Polk PSW10s?

[Schrute Farms]

WHich would be better for my 15 x 24' Theater?

I have an Onkyo TX-SR875 and it is currently powering two Polk PSW10s at the moment. Would a single Elemental Designs A2-300 sound beeter than the dual PSW10s I have right now? The PSW10s are set up below the projection screen on either side of the center speaker, about 7 feet apart. The A2-300 would replace the two subs. Your thoughts?

If I wanted to use the A2-300 AND a single PSW10 would they sound okay together or not? Should I choose one eD sub or two Polks? I like the idea of having two subs, but I don't know if having two subs of different size and power is wise.

Thanks and Merry Christmas!

I would go with an A2-300, you will not be disappointed. Just one of them will destroy the performance of 2 PSW10's. But the rule is, 2 subs are always better than one. You can always get a second A2-300 later on

And yes, if you add a PSW10 into the mix, it will sound even better. The general rule is to stick to the same brand and model, but it doesn't really matter, lots of people mix brands and sizes and always says that they sound great. If you can, place the Polk near your seating position and it will take care of the higher frequency LFE. And your A2-300 will go in your front soundstage and will take care of the really deep stuff. I'm actually thinking of doing that in my setup as well. I originally had a PSW10 and then upgraded to an A2-300.

So let us know what you decide!
