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

Perfectly flat, no. With a bit of room correction on the mains, the REL B1 ran 100Hz down to 31Hz, +/-2dB in the listening seat, and the sub's location was invisible (low pass 23 and low vol).
Still, the B1 went into the home theater and now have three sealed SVS subs (3000 and 2000s) in a DBA type array, which is better than the single sub.
