why multiple woofers?

Forums

I know, I know, there's an obvious answer to this question. But it is too simple for me to figure out. I'm shopping for a set of 3-way speakers and I've looked at many - PSB, B&W, Revel and others. All of these brands have models, in various price ranges, with 2 woofers. I'm making the ASSumption that this is just a design choice (or gimmick) and doesn't necessarily have anything to do with how the speaker actually sounds. For example: I've listened to a 2 woofer model then a single woofer model, by the same manufacturer, and the single woofer sounds better. Is this a design issue?

cd transports

I've allways wanted to check this with other audiophiles.
Has anyone else who was/is involced in home-theater as well as hi-fi found out that all laserdisc players make perfect cd transports ?I've owned 3 laserdisc players(i still have the 2 latest ones),all Pioneers,2 European models,a cld-1740
a cld-2950 and a US model Elite cld-99.I do not remember how the cld-1740 sounded but the other two beat my then cd transport (Audiolab).The differences were like night and day
