One SVS PB13Ultra or two SB13 Ultras?

I am running a SVS PB13 Ultra in my dedicated 2.1/5.1 home theatre room measuring 14wide x 20 deep. I am running an Integrated Hybrid Multichannel tube with an Oppo 95 acting as pre and processing duties. I do know two subs are better than one hence contemplating the two SB13 Ultras for my PB13 Ultra. At the sacrifice of bottom end output the two sealed subs would be smoother/tighter response in my room. Next I want to purchase a used SVS AS-EQ1 Audyysey to calibrate the sub bass seing as though with running multi-channel analogue no true bass management is being done.

Can anybody make suggestions as to which route to go in regards to the subs mentioned and if anyone has experience with similar set-ups like mine. Thx in advance.

I'm currently running the SVS AS-EQ-1 with a pair of HSU ULS-15 sealed subs. Prior to installing the ULS's, I had a pair of SVS SB-12s (the predecessor to the SB13). The SB-12 were excellent and blended very well with my mains, but I needed a little more headroom in my open floor plan home. In retrospect the SB12s offered tighter bass, but less impact than the ULS-15s. I kind of wish I still had them.

Of course it's not possible to make an accurate prediction, but I would bet a pair of the SB13s would likely improve on sound quality over your single PB13.

Hope this helps.
