None.

However, then we had this exchnage:

I took this to mean that in your opinion not just ESL's but Quad's
dymanic speakers were also much better than "Proacs, Dynaudios,
Spendors".

Sorry if I contributed to any misunderstanding. My search is simple, to
explain at least. Quad ESL's are too wide for my room. I am looking for
tower speakers that come closest in the sound quality.

None do, I'm afraid. There are some narrow ESLs. I think they're
called Wings, or something like that. I don't know how they sound as
I've never heard them, however. Also, I think they cost about the same
as 988s.
