avanti1960,
I've always considered Martin Logan subs as very good subs. As you and millercarbon realize, using two subs, as opposed to a single sub, offers significant advantages that have absolutely nothing to do with stereo bass.
All bass is mono below about 100 Hz because virtually all humans cannot determine exactly where bass notes this deep are originating from. Our brains sum and average bass notes by frequency for all bass below 100 Hz but we can perceive changes in pitch and volume in bass this deep, we just can't determine exactly where it's originating from without higher harmonics or overtones of these fundamental frequencies being reproduced and perceived.
Even if we could, however, stereo bass on virtually all vinyl and cd recordings is summed to mono below 100 Hz so there's no stereo bass existing on recorded music content, anyways. Don't believe this? Try to find a single exception. It's best to just operate all your subs in
