Though I am not disputing the fact that humans can't pinpoint where low
frequencies originate from, I believe that using two subwoofers with a
stereo signal is preferable (if your amp and wallet can support it). I
could definitely tell the difference when I switched from a single mono
subwoofer to two subwoofer's driven in stereo on my main system. The
feeling I got was one of overall better bass balance in the room.
