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

"IME, 2 is MUCH better. Some people would suggest that all of this is usually inaudible, so YMMV."

But it is measurable. ;-)

1. The only reason I posted is that I added a second sub this weekend.

2. No, I do not believe all amps sound the same. OTOH, they vary much less than do speakers and rooms.

The answer could be dictated by your particular rooms acoustic signature. After adding a second sub in my HT space My Pioneer's room correction easily displayed the difference with its on screen EQ display. Honestly, I couldn't hear a significant difference in this room. I did notice a significant difference while at another location in the house.

So, in my house the answer is, defiantly maybe and yes. IMO for now it wasn't worth the expense but I'm not taking it out. I'm betting the audio quality for mass media will soon improve to a point where it will take full advantage of the current hardware. The quality is there the problem is post production and the medium.
