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 use subwoofers with both my ESL 63s and 57s.
I use a Dahlquist crossover set to 70 Hertz for the subs and the ESLs play full range.
Everything I have ever read about Quads says to limit the sub's hi frequency response to 60-100HZ.

FYI: Subs are DIY in 21 cu. ft. enclosures. Built from a design in Audio Magazine back in the 70s.
Have Altec 15" woofers. 416-8Bs I think. -3db @ 20hz.
