Our HT area is approx. 3360 ^3,I had narrowed down our choices to a PB2-ISD or a PC-Ultra,like the look and the smaller footprint of the PC Series.

Anyway,in a neighboring state there is for sale a pair of used SVS 20-39 CS+'s with the Samson/Art combo...I think one large would buy this set-up,same cost as a new PB2-ISD...

What do you think? Are two seperate cylinder subs better than one box with two drivers?

    In that case - yes. Dual Plus cylinders will outperform a PB2-ISD. Better woofers, more port, more internal volume, and more power.

    Of course with the passive subs, you've got the amp and PEQ to worry about from a rack management standpoint.

    Yes,I was thinking about the seperate amp also,but if the Samson did go bad,it could be replaced,along with the ART 351.

    The package also included all the Better Cable interconnects.

    For me,getting the whole set-up tuned would be the biggest challange...

    pick up the CS+'s, im sure plenty of people will help you calibrate them, and calibration shouldn't be that much harder than with a single self-powered sub, anyways.
