Usijng two different subwoofers


I would like to add another subwoofer to my system. I currently own a B&W ASW 850 15" model. They are no longer made. Could I use another brand, such as the Velodyne DD15 15" with great results in my system, depsite being a different brand? They are both acoustic suspension and I use the SMS-1 on the B&W already.

Thanks in advance.

I use an active PSB for centre chan. Custom enclosures with McIntosh 12 in. drivers driven by sub amp(and parametric eq)for front ch., and a PSB passive 2 ch. sub on rear ch. No issues at all. Surprisingly lots of low end info on rears and centre. Not boomy, tubby or loose low end. Verrry extended thanks to EQing.

Not only different brands but different generations, technology. Sounds great with music or movies. In the end, there is nothing like a test drive, as many well meaning people offer honest advice but your ears will make the final decision.
