Dual vs single sub

Sorry Im sure this is all over the forums but I only found old articles. Situation. I have Two SVS 3000s that arent really doing it for me. Thinking of trading it in on the Big one and adding another in a year or so. Any thoughts on Big single vs 2 Medium?

"I don’t believe it. No offense to you personally."

Could you clarify?  What exactly do you not believe? And, no offense to you personally either.

I don’t believe that virtually all CDs have bass frequencies summed.

That’s okay. I didn’t either and argued with Earl about it. I forget the details of what he said but he had been sufficiently thorough in his investigation to change my mind.

It’s easy enough to do stereo bass anyway if you want to.

Exactly! I’ll take the stereo bass. It sounds better. It’s like compression. I realize engineers compress the life out of CDs these days. I don’t listen to compressed CDs.

What are considered "bass frequencies"? Below what frequency are the L and R channels summed to mono? One way to hear differences between L and R is to use the Dynaco Quadaptor; it uses the difference (out-of-phase) content in a recording to produce a L minus R signal.
