Hi All
I'm just putting the finishing touches on my theater room. Total room length with 18" baffle wall is 24' x 17'6" wide x 9' tall
my gear, Anthem AVM 90 ATI AT528NC AT527NC Perlisten S5i x3 LCR, S4i x8 Front wide and surrounds, KEF Ci200RR-THX Atmos x4 Dual Perlisten R210S, Dual HSU VTF-3 MK5 subs

The HSU subs were from my last build and brought them with me before I decided on Perlisten.

WIll the 2 perlistens match/blend well with the HSU? Or will I need to match 4 R210s?

Other option, I was contemplating selling the two R210s and HSU (Perlistens are brand new in box so I would try and sell as new is possible )and adding 4 R212s instead, but maybe the 4 R210s will be more then enough. Anyone have some insight here ?

thanks

In order to get those subs to play nice together, I would run the Hsu subs in a sealed mode. They will probably be fine at that point. A 4 x R212 system would be pretty badass though, but very pricey.

Alright. That was the answer I was hoping for. So no need to sell the HSU and go for 4 R210s, am I losing out on some deep base or or detail ?
And yea. I wish I'd opted for the R212s initially. Would have made things much easier to add 2 more rather then try sell the 210s...
Thanks for your input ShadyJ. Read your full review on the 212s. Amazing. Was hoping you had done something similar for the 210s

As long as the subs are properly calibrated, I doubt you will be losing out on any detail. You will be losing out on deep bass simply for the fact that you have sealed subs. But with two 15"s and four 10"s, you should have enough displacement to compensate for that.
