This is not a rumour: a Finnish company called Gradient manufactures
a dipole subwoofer for QUAD ESL 63. I don't know whether Quad is 
marketing it at the moment, but in the near future they will. I've
seen it at an Finnish audio fair, too bad I didn't have time to listen
to the combination. The subwoofer is designed like ESL 63 and intended
to be used as a stand for the speakers. The subwoofer includes a metal
frame that mounts the speaker to it.
