1 Subwoofer or Are 2 Better??


I have read before that 2 subwoofers are generally better than one.I would like your opinions on this and the explanation of why two subs are better. Have any of you gone from just having one sub, bought a second sub and experienced any advantages over the single sub?I have a single martin logan depth sub now wish is used for both music and HT.
Thanks

I did and they are. I am referring to one or two of the same subs. One large or two smaller ones are a much closer call. It depends on the subs, REL has something on this on their web site, also look at Sumiko site. They think 2 subs "load" the room better than one. I think I know what they mean and agree but their explanation is best direct from them.
Stands to reason, everything else being equal, that having a second sub would help to smooth out room modes and standing wave issues, due to the multiple launch positions. Although I can't speak from experience, because my speakers are pretty much full range and I don't use a sub.

two subs are better. particularly when you can hook them up with separate left and right audio signals, rather than each one having a combined L+R sub signal.

two make the soundstage better in my system. i am particular about the directionality of sound and two subs always disappear better than one to me.

and i would rather have two smaller subs than one big, honkin' one, but i suppose that's more of a matter of personal taste.
I did go from having 1 sub to 2 and found the bass was more evenly distributed.
