Correct roberjerman, Gradient made dedicated OB/Dipole subs for both the Quad ESL63 and original ("57"), which doubled as stands for the speakers. The GR Research/Rythmik is similar in basic design and style, but quite a bit more advanced. Better designed H-frames, higher-quality drivers, and more powerful plate amp. The amp also contains not only Brian Ding’s patented Direct Servo-Feedback system, but also a dipole-cancellation compensation shelving circuit, which corrects the front-to-back cancellation (and resulting loss of output with declining frequency) endemic to all dipole speakers. A brilliant design!
