Any still using the Dahlquist DQ-10 speakers?

I have a pair I bought about 3 years ago. Presently in storage due to lack of space. Found from an EBay seller nearby. Cost: $375. Nicely restored: new caps and silver wiring, new woofer surrounds, new walnut side pieces, grill cloth and stands. Beautiful! Still one of the all-time best classic speakers!

It could be a little nostalgia getting to me, but even with Maggie 20, various Martin Logans and the like, the DQ-10 still hold a warm spot in my audio memory. 

Yes and no.   I still own a pair of DQ-10 speakers. Five years ago I poured a small fortune in to them with all the updates and upgrades. I even went to a custom furniture maker and had him make a very nice set of custom speaker stands. I may have spent $2,000 rebuilding on the DQ-10s that cost me $1,200 40 years ago.

 Three years ago I purchased a pair of Magnepan 3.7i speakers to replace them after listening to the maggies driven by some Classe’ amps. I am disappointed in my current home setup and I blame my 40 year old power amp. Both the DQ-10 speakers or the Magnepan 3.7i sound OK but both are hindered by my old power amp. I remember listening to the 3.7i for the first time at home thinking that is not much better or different than my rebuilt DQ-10s. Each will need a first class modern preamp and power amps for best performance and a fair comparison. And that is next plan.
