I use all Quad ESL's of the same generation. This provides a coherent sound, in which a 32Hz C clearly differs from a 36Hz B.
Not much bass below 30Hz, but everything above that is sublime, and that's 99% of the music. I suggest that you try it sometime - put a 12dB filter at 30Hz in front of a sub, disconnect the rest, and listen to the complete absence of signal, except for the occasional undifferentiated thump.
Every sub I have tried adds far more mud than signal, although I have hopes that, eventually, I can make my isobaric magnepans work out.
