[image] 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 R…

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. :slightly_smiling_face: 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!

Review [image] REL for the Space Challened Loudspeakers

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. :thinking::man_shrugging:t2: 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 :rofl:

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.

Anyone else see the new REL planar subs?
