Are two smaller subs better than one larger?


I have checked the threads, and many say that two subs are better than one. However, here is my question: are two smaller subs, say Martin Logan Depths, better than one larger sub, say Margin Logan Descent?

Thanks in advance, as usual,

I went from one large to two smaller ones and prefer the pair by a large margin. The biggest improvement for me was in the soundstage rather than just in bass quality. My system is for music only, no HT.
Great replies so far, folks. I'm specifically think about adding either two Martin Logan Depths or one Descent to my Martin Logan Spires. Home theater is not involved, just pure two channel sound.
