You will eventually probably want a set. Easier to set up and they sound MUCH better. The ultimate is 4 identical subs as you can play with the room that way. The new Vandersteen sub with the bass EQ works awesome with the panel speakers. I've heard that set up numerous times as they are very very fast and set up properly, they take on the same sound as your main amp. To me, that's the best thing about their integration. That 12 band EQ has tamed my own room a great deal and smoothed everything out. (I have the Quatro's with built in sub/amp .
Sealed subwoofer for ESL-63
I am looking for owners who have successfully integrated their QUAD ESL 63s with a subwoofer.
I recently bought a used pair of QUAD ESL63 and had them rebuilt, panels and electronics, this is my third pair. I have had several monkey boxes in between - Aerial 10T, B&W, KEF, IMF, Tannoys, Proac, Goldmund, Falcon Acoustics kits, etc - but the 63s are very hard to live without when you know what they can do.
My problem is that I am particularly fond of large-scale symphonic works such as Wagner’s The Ring , Beethoven, Mahler, Strauss, etc. but the 63s are very special and very frustrating used full range, they have limited bass and dynamics.
I am retired now and have a fixed income so I cannot keep doing what I did for fifty years, buy, experiment, trade and sell.
I would like to keep the cost of the sub to $1K max for a good condition, one owner unit.
Best regards,
