If you're an audiophile it matters... A single sub, especially if not
placed directly beteen the two mains, will pull the stereo image
towards it.
Two subs will give a smoother bass respponse, and a more true to life
stereo image, if you needed a sub in the first place that is.
On the mailing list, it isn't clear what you are replying to,
but your wording seems a bit alarmist. A proper
sub used only as a sub, and not as a general woofer,
is location free. Humans are highly sensitive to
location for high frequencies, mostly due to the
shading caused by the head/distance between ears.
A 41 hZ tone, which happens to be low E on a string bass
or bass guitar, has a wavelength of approximately 20 feet.
Humans (or at least 99% of humans) can't place
the source of that tone within 90 degrees.
But if you have the cash and can deal with the low WAF,
by all means put in more than one sub.
Then you can start speculating as to the relative
merits of one REL sub at $2000 or two cheaper
$1000 a copy sub.
