> **[Planar](https://rel.net/collections/planar)** > > Planar subwoofers redefine how bass lives within a room, bringing flexibility and performance into perfect balance. I love the idea of this - a great practical solution for multiple subs in a small room, but one wonders how well it works. And REL continues to beat the drum of limited phase control. At the price they’re asking I find that puts them in a less desirable position. But the form factor is very intriguing! ---

They look great. My subwoofer friends and I have this debate: I think my speakers give me all the bass I want, they tell me I need subs anyway. ---

It often isn’t about more bass, but more even room response in the bass region. But you know that. 🙂 And oh, if that’s the argument from your subwoofer friends, then IMO they’re likely not taking full advantage of what subs can _do_! ---

I’ve been told I’m the worst person on the planet for having only 1 sub and not 2 subs. ---

Some might say one could benefit from 2 good subwoofers in one system over one subwoofer in two different systems. 🤔🤷🏻‍♂️ If someone said you are the worst person on the planet because of your lack of subwoofers there must be a deeper reason than that. Pun intended 🤣 ---

Dear Paul You’re not the worst person. I can think of one, maybe two who are worse. I hope that helps lift your spirits. Your friend Ron ---

Thanks Ron. I feel better knowing that 1, possibly 2 people on the planet are worse than me, lol.
