In your home. Cars don't count.
If yes, what you got?
If no, why the hell not?

I used to subscribe to Stereo Review magazine, and I used that to vicariously live my dream of being an audiophile while in the real world we paid off our mortgage and saved to put the kids through college.
Lately, we've been moving around a lot and so I have deferred on upgrading the system and instead get by with my Sennheiser headphones. So the answer to your question is no, I don't have a subwoofer.
Once we return from Australia I plan to get serious about investigating all the options I'll have in the A/V universe, and some of my disposable income will be disposed in that area.
A system, built around those Infinity's shown above, sits in the top 5 or so audio setups that I have had the pleasure of hearing.My god, I so totally had a subscription to Stereo Review in the '80s and '90s when I was young. And I too lived vicariously through the supersystems they'd show.
I had a dream of owning the $100,000 Infinity Reference System (IRS) full room system. Jesus!
Just checked eBay and they are still selling for close to 20 grand. Interesting.

I have owned much mid to high-end audio equipment over the years and it all started with my Nakamichi receiver, tape deck, CD player and Infinity RS 6000 speakers when I was 16. Saved all my money and bought them based on the reviews from Hirsch-Houck lab tests and reviews.
First CD's I bought were Dark Side of the Moon and Duran Duran's Rio. Two of my favorites at the time and they got stellar ratings by the lab.
I have had a number of subwoofers over the years and I powered my system mostly with Parasound amps. I used to be a dealer for some of these companies for a while, got great prices for myself.
Have had Velodyne( Freaking wonderful, very pricey) Pinnacle ( Meh), SVS and they just blew my mind.
I think I will go with SVS again in the future when I'm ready to rebuild my home theater.

For 30 years now, I have owned their Beta siblings. This is them setup in their current form:

Wonderful indeed. In a couple ways (midrange musicality and no need to house them in an auditorium sized room) they are superior to the IRS V'sHoly hell!! Wonderful.
Wow, that is beautiful.A system, built around those Infinity's shown above, sits in the top 5 or so audio setups that I have had the pleasure of hearing.

Excellent, thanks. That was going to be my next guess.Thanks. No, these are a magnetic planar design. Both dipole designs but very different resultant sound.
For years I owned stats though. Here are my pair of Martin Logan paired up with Kinergetics subs.

I was looking last week at the little Magenpan LRS speakers and considering them in the future, especially at the price point.
Yeah, that was part of why I didn't just pull the trigger. Well, besides the fact I don't really need them, but I didn't know if I'd need to purchase a separate amp to really make them sound good. From the info I saw, they like high current amps.Sold many Maggies in my time. These LRS' can produce a very good sound if you give them space and a capable amp to allow them to shine.
