I HAVE A  KLIPSCH PALLADIUM P-39F  and now i buy a 1 SUBWOOFER (B&W ASW850).  This trio work much better!!!
My subwoofer crossover in 45Hz, i set up than using spectrum analyzer 1/6 and 1/24 octave (ToolBox). With grat results!
FOR LISTEN "MUSIC" IN MY HI-END ROOM IS BEST TO USE 1 or 2 SUBWOOFERS ??
2 IDENTICAL SUBWOOFERS or LITTLE DIFFERENT (like: different frequency curve) ??
 
RH, help me

Two subwoofers are better than one for a couple of reasons. First, each subwoofer excites different room modes because they are placed in different locations in the room. The result is smoother bass (all other things being equal). Second, each subwoofer has to work only half as hard (half the driver excursion, half the amplifier power per subwoofer, etc.). This means that each sub operates in the linear area of its operation and isn't stressed. I would use two identical subwoofers.
