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 just did this. From 1 AAD C-10 to 2 Pioneer SW8 mkII. Better blend.

IMHO, a pair of subs should be mandatory for a 2 channel set up

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.

Two subs for sure. One of my two is currently out for service and the difference is NOT subtle.
