   the way i look at speakers is like this.
   larger the woofer the looser the bass,the more air it moves.
   the smaller the woofer the tighter the bass,the less air it moves.double the smaller woofer keeps a tighter bass and moves as much air as the larger woofer.
   small room i would go with the double or more woofer speaker.

   If you’re looking at setting up dual woofers it works best when you have 2 individual subs. Usually 12 inch woofers perform better than 10 inches or less. The difference is usually frequency respons….you get a lower frequency extension with bigger drivers, meaning you get deeper bass. If you have no subwoofer in your setup then you definitely need deeper bass from your towers, if you have a sub or plan on getting one in the future then you can get away with 10 inch woofers or less and still have deep bass from the sub while your towers will produce whatever bass is above the crossover point.

   they are using 2 smaller speakers vs one larger because they are faster , quicker (sound - cleaner) more acurate .

   It’s not a simple answer. Dual woofers design has an inherent flaw, it is possible for the woofers to be slightly out of phase with one another causing a weird form of distortion at certain frequencies.
   It’s usually a matter of personal preference and quality, go with what you think sounds the best!
