Then I won't try to convince you otherwise. This guy has equipment
similar to yours, and liked ("bliss") the effect of two subs, which I'm
not even sure were in stereo:

Have you heard Kodo's Mondo Head SACD? I've read that good engineers
(which I do not claim to be) let individual channels, even on 5.1, play
to 40hz before sending to the LFE channel.
This effect wouldn't be noticeable unless you wired the subs for
stereo, btw, which as Robin noted isn't the case just because you have
two.
I like my wide range drivers because the xmax is like 2mm, thus
avoiding lots of distortions resulting from long throw woofers. My
thinking is that you take the load off the wide range drivers, and run
subs to 80/120- but that's just me.
I only have one right now, but will build two when I actually have a
dime to spare.
I'm not a zealot, I don't sell subs, and consider myself 'anti
consumerism'. I fear I'm starting to sound like one though :)
