DEFINITIVE TECHNOLOGY PROSUB 1000 10" 750w High-Output Subwoofer Black NEW | Accessories4less $299.99
$299.99
This subwoofer normally goes for at least $499. I tried to get B&h to price match but they couldn't do it - they could only give a $25 discount off their $450+ price.

Given moderate listening levels for music and movies (not shake-the-house levels), generally speaking, would it be preferable to go with two of these or one bigger/more powerful sub?

The old advice of corner placement didn't do me any favors. I had mine there for years. Then I got measurement equipment. That spot (measured from my seat) was killing the bass below 25 hz! A spot along the wall about 1/4 width of my room was much better.
If your room is not a closed rectangle, you can basically throw out all the "advice" about where subwoofers might work best. You are going to have to either do the sub crawl or take audio measurements if you want the best out of your subwoofer.
Some REALLY bad advice here.

Some people prefer smooth, even bass from two subs placed across the room from one another, versus deeper, but uneven bass from a single sub.
And to discount your previous advice about it all being about placement just to be a counterpoint is disingenuous.

Huh?
It's simple. Some people value the deepest bass response above all else (you, apparently). Others value a more even bass response across more areas in the room more than they value reproducing the deepest bass frequencies (put me in that camp).
It's impossible to get even bass in a room with one subwoofer....unless you sit in one seat and do a lot of bass equalization.
When I moved my single sub from a corner to about 1/4 width of my front wall, the bass response from my seat got way better. THEN, I added a second subwoofer and I got more even bass across more seats.

[quote="cyciumx;146630405"]So you are pitting dual 120watt subs that only hit to 25hz against a single 300watt sub that hits to 18hz?
This is another typical def tech product with extremely overrated and exaggerated specs, no way this thing hits to 18hz with any kind of usable output. I have listened to and owned many def tech products over the years and the two things you can count on from def tech products are a high failure rate on their amplified products (i.e. - their subs), and that their frequency response ratings are ridiculously exaggerated. A decent sub here, but don't kid yourself, this doesn't hit lower than $1000 12-15" subs from rel, hsu, or svs for example.

Generally, you'd prefer having two subs over a single that's slightly better, as it will not only extend lower due to the increased amplitude due to addition (superposition), but it will also be more even.
But, for something like two of these versus something like a HSU or SVS, I'd choose the single sub, as those are vastly superior to these (not slightly, as in the above example).
