Two subs - should they be the same size or is different ok


I have a nice setup: McIntosh 352 integrated tube amp, VPI Signature table, Revel Studio 2 speakers, and 2 SVS subs - the SB2000 and SB3000.

I initially bought the SB2000 since I had a smalleer room at the time, and then got the SB3000 when I moved into a larger room - about 18' x 24'.  Then I thought - why not both?

I've have read that sometimes other Revel speakers are a little weak in parts of the bass spectrum.  I think the latest review was from Audioholics, although I'm not sure that was a fair comparison since one of the Revels seemed to be placed partly behind a couch.

However, I like the two different sub sizes because I can set the smaller one to engage at 68Hz and the larger one at 62 Hz.  So I can adjust not only the volume of bass but different parts of the audio spectrum

Is this logic valid?

While setting up current system 'bout 3 or 4 years back I experimented with none, one and a pair of subs. A pair in a two channel system is a no brainer regardless of whether same brand and/or size. My "listening room" is this thing called a living room which I share with my wife. Size was a consideration when going for the second sub. I currently have a REL T/7i and T/5i. No complaints.
