I really think the 15" Velodynes would match well

I think it is a topic wothy of further exploration.

With a larger sub, you have a lower max-x for the same volume. This translates into a faster responce time. Paradoxically larger is faster in this case. Also with a servo controlled sub you have vanishingly low distortion. The newer servo subs are even better at this than mine, with lighter accelerometers and higher sampling rates. Paradigm also makes a high quality servo sub. I think either of these would be a great match for an electrostatic for the person who wants bass re-enforcement.
