Ok I know that the DRS-1 has not come out yet so nobody knows how they will perform. But its hard to overlook a 1000 watt dual sub system with eq and room correction for $1,000. Especialy from another great online company like Emotiva.
Two 350's would come to $1,500 plus they would match what I already have....But the DRS-1 would save some $$$ and would match my pre-pro and amp
Some might say buy speakers from a speaker company, and amps from an amp company. All that comes to mind is A1400-8.
Life is tuff....
