Single vs. Dual Subs


It's common wisdom that dual or multiple subs help smooth out bass response in different spots in the room, but what about for a dedicated listening room with a fixed single listening position? What do two subs add to the music presentation that a single dialed in sub is missing provided that single sub is dialed in perfectly for the listening position?
Caveat: not interested in the SWARM method or multiple subs at the moment, strictly comparing single to dual subs

I use a pair of Velodyne HGS-15s in the corners of a 14’ X 19’ room with acoustic room correction by an SMS-1 to supplement KEF Reference 1s below 80 Hz @ 24 dB/octave. The result is excellent. I’ve tried a couple of high-pass filters, but they seem to take a bit of air out of the sound, perhaps a peculiarity of the sticking them between an Ayre preamp and amp with the zero feedback.
