upgrade my sound!!


I need some advice. I currently have a basement home theater system with Paradigm signature S series fronts and center channel. The rears are also Paradigm installed in ceiling. My sub is a single 212/SE. Its great, but I was considering whether I should replace it with two S/812s for more balance and sound. I would also be replacing the Paradigm signatures with newer Persona models, if that is relevant. My processor is a Marantz AV 8805. the power amp is a Audio Control Pantages G3.Thoughts?

I personally have never used more than 1 sub.  I like your speakers and have owned an earlier iteration of them.  What is the goal to be achieved with the second sub?  Better bass for music or louder booms for action movies?
Yeah I’ve been intrigued enough about the 2 sub discussion to try it.  When I first got into the hobby about 20 years ago the conventional wisdom was that was unnecessary but it seems like everyone is recommending it now.  I won’t do it in two channel as I wouldn’t have the room and I’m very happy with that system now
I see the logic.  4 subs, one for each corner of the room.  Right now, that might be a bridge to far for me.  I’ll start with 2 and see how it goes.  Do you recommend all subs be of the same manufacturer?
