After adding an Arc Ultra, I’m now moving my original Arc to another room. I also have a Beam (Gen 2) in yet another room, and am trying to figure out how to best pair my subwoofers. One is a regular Sub (Gen 2), and the other is a Sub Mini.

My first thought was to pair the regular Sub with the (original) Arc to keep the “higher end” gear together. However, the room the Arc is going in is significantly smaller than the room with the Beam (and there is a reason I want the Arc in that room, so that’s not a decision point). So maybe it’s better to use the Sub Mini in that room (along with the Arc)?

I guess my real question is whether there is a functional tradeoff in using the Sub Mini with an Arc (relative to the regular Sub), other than overall power of the subwoofer. Would love to hear everyone’s thoughts.

It isn't that much work to test each option and see which one sounds best to you

Fair enough on just “test them both out.” I just thought there might be some “spec level” reason to prefer one sub over the other when using the Arc (e.g., crossover frequency, levels). Barring that, though, I will test both configs. Thanks for the suggestion.
