I am currently using a REL "Storm" with my ESL 57 and while it does not play the lowest notes, it certainly augments the whole lower fundamentals.

Integration is seamless & and is able to keep up with the panels.

I use a pair of JANIS W-1 with a pair of Bryston 7s and a Bryston xover set at 24db/octave balanced. Need a big amp to control/integrate the woofer even though the speakers are efficient.

When David Hall designed the first Velodyne sub he used ESL 57s as his speakers. sonically he was trying for a fast accurate and low distortion sub. I think that you should not overlook the obvious...i.e. a Velodyne.
