powering the Dahlquist DQ-10'

To get what the DQ-10s are capable of you will need a separate amp and line stage or pre amp. Amps that I used on them are Audio Research D-350 and D110B. I have heard the DQ-10s with Threshold Stasis 2 and Mark Levinson ML-10 with very good results. With a good quality amp the DQ-10s will image and sound very good tonally. When I had them they imaged beyond the outside of the speakers. Amps that I can recommend are McCormack DNA-2, Threshold s-400 and Stassis 2. This is a speaker you could build your system on for years to come. Be patient and careful. Look at past threads on the DQ-10 there is good info for you.This is the speaker that got me into audio about 26 years ago. I will never forget this speaker. Keep us posted on your progress.

www.partsconnexion.com use to sell a DQ10 crossover upgrade kit complete with instructions and parts. If they no longer have it listed on their site, I bet they could make up a kit for you.

Not sure what the best amp for you would be but I can tell you that before you do anything,get in touch with the good people at Regnar Hi fidelity.(631 289-6559) They KNOW DQ-10s and are a full service operation. They rebuilt my woofers as good as new. (No affiliation with company)

Well..this depends on what you want to do. If you are going to use these as main listening system, and want to have the best sound, you can get some nice medium to high end components (recommend and agree, get separates). But, if you want to have fun, go vintage. I used these with Marantz 120M amp, 3300 pre and 120b tuner, all sounded great, amp matched speakers wonderfully, and the pre has a phono pre in it, tuner has scope. This will sound and look awesome.
