Subwoofer: should we even use them at all?

Dear Community,

For years, I looked forward to purchasing a subwoofer. However, I recently became friends with someone in this field who is much more knowledgable than me. His system sounds amazing. He told me that subwoofers should be avoided because of the lack of coherence that inheres in adding a subwoofer. What do you guys think? I currently use Verity Parsifol Ovations.

I have a Rel Stadium III with my Parsifal and really enjoy the sound. The majority of the time, I listen with the monitor, woofer cabinet, and sub. The fun thing about most of the Verity speakers is that you can listen to many combinations.
I enjoy listening to them in different configurations when I have a nice stretch. Sometimes I listen to the monitor (vocals and strings). The monitors have nice speed and easily reach down into the low 40's. Sometimes I'll pull the sub out into the room and listen to the monitors and sub. Other times I turn off the sub.
I think I've integrated them to my tastes. Great speaker.
