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

Hi,  I have a similar question relating to 2 vs 1 subs.   I currently have a single REL sub sitting right next to my right speaker.   If I were to add a second sub.  Does it need to be placed symmetrically to the first sub?  i.e. right next to my left speaker.

The reason I ask is I simply don't have the room to accommodate a 2nd sub on the same side of the wall where my speakers are.   So is it ok to place the 2nd sub somewhere else, like on the opposite wall diagonally from the first sub.   Will that ruin my stereo imaging?

Thanks very much.
