1 large subwoofer or 2 smaller ones...?


Looking for opinions on whether to use one large subwoofer (Martin Logan Descent i) vs 2 smaller subs of the same design (ML Depth i). Cost for the 2 setups would be similar, but my room is better suited to support 1 sub than 2. Main speakers are Martin Logan Ascent's.

I used to have one REL Storm III, and now have two DIY boxes with Rythmik 12" kits. So my two subs cost the same as my previous larger one, but the two subs aren't smaller than the one. Rest of system is the same. I would agree 100% with the 2-sub route because of the smoother response and ability/flexibility 2 subs provide.

Whether you get better results with the subs playing in stereo or a summed up mono signal will generate a lot of debate. But that's a bridge you don't need to cross now.
