a quote from GT about the 4345 and its reception in the studio monitoring market at the time:
Fact is dual 15" is assisted alignment (4435 or E2, with only one of the two drivers reaching a high crossover point) seems to typically produce better/deeper/cleaner bass than a single 18"
(that being said, I have 18" in my system, because I think 15" are for sissies ;) (and I cannot even understand how we can let people with 14" participate to this forum :D))
