Sub for Quad ELS-989

I have come into possession of a pair of Quad 989's and really love them but when I play music with any medium not to mention strong bass characteristics the protection circuitry kicks in and down goes the volume.
I thought maybe a sub might help this if I ran it through its crossover and filtered out the lower register but then I have a slow driver with very fast electrostatics. Is there a sub as well as a configuration that would help my situation?

I use the same electronics as Bob's friend (Velodyne SMS and NHT x-2) with Rythmik subs. This combo works well with Maggies - not Quads, but cut from similar cloth (if you'll pardon the pun). I suspect that there are many fine subwoofers out there that will work well, but I attribute most of the credit for my successful set-up to the aforementioned electronics.

Good Luck
