I have been using dual identical subs for HT & stereo, and it is has been very good experience..

I use them in front corners of the room (Beside L & R speakers), since my room layout didn't allow front & back orientation..

Is it necessary to use identical subs always? Can I mix two brands?

Not necessary, but dual identical is better is from what i have read..

Can I mix two brands?

Sure.. But manual EQ might not be as easy as identical ones..

You already have Audyssey XT32, that has Sub EQ HT built-in, which is capable of EQ'ing two different subs..

I use two different subwoofers in my setup. Setting them up is quiet difficult when compared to identical subs. There wont be much of difference in the output, but still identical subs are recommended.
