Apples and oranges. The Arion has no crossover from 150 Hz up and unique dipole woofers below. And it works. The woofers on the ESS are not really Heils. And like you said it doesn't really exist. The Arion speaker is real.
Follow Ups:
Rusty memory but at lest their pitch was air motion transfer tech bottom to top but with different methods and materials. Didn't spend great deal of effort to fully understand all the mechanisms, but observed clearly an unconventional approach to reproduce lower octaves. It was a promising approach, but rough with a longer road to a fully refined offering.
The bass is sort of a squeezer but it's mechanically different than a Heil. They did it to relate to the Heil but couldn't do it the same way. It isn't a folded diaphragm like a Heil as I recall but separate diaphragms pushed together.
"The Arion has no crossover from 150 Hz up"
So, you're saying that the LF driver is allowed to roll off naturally, and the tweeter does the same?
That I've got to hear.

No, the Heild drivers are mounted as a tall line source and are crossed from the woofers there and run til they roll off supersonically. It's a 2 way system.
Ok, I've looked at them (the Apollo). If I haven't missed something, they're basically a wide-range line array with a separate woofer. It looks like an interesting system.
"they roll off supersonically."
Ha, that's funny.
