You rather obviously need a speaker with better output capacity and bigger bass output and extension.
You can add a bipolar sub, e.g. http://www.parts-express.com/dayton-audio-rs1202a-1000-watt-dual-12-subwoofer-system-assembled--300-767
Or an H or W frame dipole sub
I don't think a traditional monopole sub will ever integrate well enough with a good panel speaker though many are happy with what they have..
The downside is that you will have to filter the ESL63 probably at 80 hz. But a 1st order about there should be fairly innocuous.
If you go to the Accoustat then don't bother with the 1+1 and only go to the larger 2+2 or spectra equivalent..If you are blowing up esl 63s then you will be driving the 1+1 well outside their comfort zone.

I have some DQ-10's, Infinity RS-IIIA, Kappa 6.1i and Magnepan MG-IIc, but none of them have the same magic of Quads. The DQ-10's and MG-IIc probably sound the best out of what I have aside from the Quads.

I think your preference is strongly skewed to the qualities of ESLs but you want more output and bass so big Acoustats like the 2+2 Spectra 44/4400 are a likely fit. They don't have quite the same coherence the ESL63 has because they don't emulate a point source, but they do provide a magnificent line source soundstage with real height real sized instruments and great image placement and specificity. The interfaces offer upgrade potential and there are a number of techs that rebuild them should there be a problem.
