Two subs or not Two subs?

I have been contemplating adding a Rel T-3 Or two.To my vinyl only 2 channel set up.

Proac responce 2
TAD Hibachi-II Mono Blocks
PS Audio GCPH
Pro-Ject 2 Xperience with an Ortofon HMC 20 cartridge

My room is 20'L x 15'W x 10'H and the speakers are on the short wall.
First are two subs better than one. what are the benefits of having two vs. one. Can I get by with one. Thank You

I agree with Zman.
If you buy 1 sub first, get some long el'cheepo (Rat Shack) sub cables and move it all around the room. You may be surprised at where it sounds the best.
Good luck

T series is for home theater; crosses over much higher than the S series. Get one S series and see how you like it; one may be all you need.

Usually two subs work better for music , as opposed to home theater . The only issue with two is there allot harder to set up properly , phasing and such .

I don't see a S series sub on REl's site is it discontinued.Also why would the t-3's variable crossover(30-120hrz.) be considered to high?

30hz to 120hz is quite good. Stan is probable talking about a used sub that may be discontinued. Look on the classified adds here on AGon.
