Stereo Subwoofer Pairing


Does it matter if stereo subwoofers (one dedicated for each channel) are the same age or will it sound fine to use one subwoofer that is new with a used one (both subwoofers are the same model)?

Will it just take time for the new subwoofer to break in to match the used one or will they never sound close to each other?

FWIW
I employ a pair of inexpensive Andrew Jones powered subs with either my Sonus Faber Cremona Auditor M Monitors or Magnepan .7 speakers.

One sub is in the right corner of the front wall, the other in the left corner of the rear wall. I experimented with numerous placement arrangements and after a great expenditure of time I decided that this basic configuration yielded the best results. It works quite well.

Sometimes satisfying home audio is not beholden to the number of angels which theoretically can fit on the head of a pin. Simple is often best.
