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 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.

So are you running them from the same amp in parallel with the ESLs? I was thinking of powered sub(s) using a high impedance input from the speaker terminals...
