two 10's or one larger subwoofer?

I know that this has been asked before but I would like to get more feedback. I have a 2-channel setup and would like to add more low end. I am aware that larger subwoofers typically have lower frequency response. Does that mean better bass? My speakers are Wharfedale EVO 2 50's which are floor standers. Any and all opinions would be appreciated.

To get a good answer, I think you need to talk a little about what your system is and what you like and don't like about it. Otherwise, you will get a lot of random comments that will, most likely, be of no use to you.

I will give you a random answer. The frequency extension does not always correlate with driver size or "better" sounding bass. Just check the specs on the subs you are considering. I am sure that some will claim that the bottom octave is a must.
Personally I really don't find subs a good fit with my gear which doesn't claim to reproduce anything lower than 28 Hz. I like a clean, solid, punchy and dynamic bass. My system does this. Thus I am not interested in a bigger bass emphasis which I hear when most subs are integrated into the sound. Home theater is another matter where LFE are important.
