Quad ESL 57 with subwoofer

Has anyone tried adding a sub to a pair of Quad ESLs?
If so, did it work out? What sub did you use and how did you connect it? Thanks.

I adjust it depending on recordings but for the most part keep it subtle. Definitely adds something to the Quads. I hope to buy a second one.

In the intervening years since my 2014 post above, I have learned that hardcore panel speaker enthusiasts recommend employing Magneplanar Tympani-IV bass panels as woofers, or even subs. There is one guy over on the Planar Speaker Asylum who uses them as woofers for his Martin Logan ESL speakers, with an Eminent Technology TRW-17 Rotary Woofer for the VERY low bass. That I would love to hear!

To this day the best panel/dynamic speaker blend I've ever heard. Not perfect, but far closer than I've heard since.
