When speakers duplicate drivers


What are the effects of duplicating drivers? I'm not talking about the so-called "half" driver where one does, say, both bass and midrange and the other does only bass, I'm talking about straight duplication.

What is the effect on sound? From a technical standpoint, what happens to the incoming signal when it gets split over duplicate drivers?

I have such a speaker which I'm listening to right now. Paradyme Phantom V4. 2-way floorstander w/ two 6 1/2" drivers. I always preferred 2-ways for some reason. This loudspeaker has fuller sound which I believe goes down to 40hz. They are still 8 ohm spks. I would have thought the impedance would be lower w/the extra driver.
