Mix and Matching Subs... SVS/Monolith

[kidplayer]

So i have dropped a lot money in the last couple days and feel sick so i hope its all worth it..

My setup now
Polk LSi 15
Polk LSi/C
Polk LSi/FX
SVS Ultra "Just ordered a monolith 15"
SVS PB3000
B&K AVR 507 - "pre ordered new Onkyo rz50"
Monolith 7 channel amp On order as well to power the new Onkyo.


Anyways today monolith had a sale so i jumped on the 7 channel b stock amp for 1399... Then i saw they had their Monolith 15 THX sub for 999 and grabbed that...
I am going to replace my 20 year old SVS Ultra with the Monolith..

I am hoping mixing and matching these 2 will sound ok. Right now i have the PB3000 up front in the left corner and the SVS Ultra in the rear right corner... I am thinking i should put bigger MOnolith 15 up front and the SVS in the back corner...

Any tips for me

For calibration, it is definitely better to get the same ones. Mix n match can still work though. Tip would be to follow the sub placement and calibration guidelines right here on Audioholics.

Using the old Radio Shack one... I contacted svs they said just leave the svs up front since i wouldn't have to re calibrate that... So ill throw that monster in the back... wont be able to open the door but don't need anything in that closet anyway.
