4 Velodyne HGS-15's or 2 Velodyne HGS-18's?


Given this choice, which route, and why, would you go?
Building a theater and will either go with a pair of HGS-18s on either side of the center, and on the insides of the outter speakers, OR 4 HGS-15s. They would be placed in the same position, but 2 HGS-15s would be stacked on each other!

Thoughts?

For what it is worth, a single 15 would probably be sufficient for the room, but isn't 75% of what we buy overkill anyway?

Thanks for the insight.

for sure the 1812 not easy to acquire.
I went thru DD-15's X2 then tried Jl-F-113's X4(two for music and two for HT).
No matter using ARO or sub in seat position or any floor position the JL's didn't give me THAT sound.
Enter the 1812,I first heard one at a dealers room which was at least 3X my room size(12X19X7).
The demo disc was Jeff Beck(Live at Ronnie Scott's).
In a nut shell that was the best bottom end I had ever heard.
the dealer gave me a copy of that disc to try at home with the JL's,well I did try it and it sucked big time,talk about depressing.
Went to the dealer and told him it was probably his big room that made the difference,his reply is it doesn't matter the size of the room(HE WAS RIGHT)He brought the 1812 over to my house and we played that disc.
All I could say when the first few notes played was THAT's IT.
The 1812 hasn't left my room as it has the most musical and authoritative bottom end I have heard and she's superb for music and movies.The sub really opens up the mids and highs.
Sold the JL's(YES)and I couldn't be happier.
Never would have thought this sub does it all and made the JL's sound like boom boxes on the bottom end.
Down side of the 1812,heavy,large,price(if you can get one)are around 4999.00,but it's what she does for the music and I'm overwhelmed with joy what this sub does.
