I have the same speaker system as you do (see link to my system for a full description), and started out with a single 2Wq sub. It was an improvement, but the second sub made a substantial difference -- in balance, in the soundstage (stereo subs do a much better job, as they virtually eliminate the localization effect of a single sub), and in sound pressure levels. The dimensions of my listening room are roughly similar to yours -- 13' x 18' -- and the stereo subs work well. Personally, I would not go back to a single sub.
Do I really need a second 2Wq sub?
My listening room is 12x by 20x and my system is on the short wall. I have the Vandersteen 3A sigs, my audio rack and one 2Wq sub on that wall. The one sub really improved the sigs and the sound overall. I can sqeeze in a second sub, but I'm wondering if a second sub in that size room would be unnecessary overkill. I'd like hear your comments.
