Agree overall about focus but doubles provide a more realistic image height and offered higher output.

Have used both in garage system and use singles today. Too many woofers to periodically refoam!

The higher output achieved by this means (when everything is perfect and no phase cancellation exists) is only 3dB. That's insignificant compared to A) the damage done to frequency response and B) the low frequency extension that would be otherwise available through use of a larger single cabinet with a larger woofer.

  another difference was the halved load impedance doubled the output power from the Threshold Stasis amp used at the time. More like 6 db.
