Dahlquist reincarnated? Please see link below:

dahlquist has been around as a canadian company for quite a while. the new 10 however is going to be interesting

dahlquist never went under it was bought out by the regnar corp,they have alway's been there to buy part's from for the old dq10's,i know they were still making speaker system's as of a year ago but im now sure weather or not there were any plans to bring back to life the dq10's.

i too fondly remembered the dq10's from my youth & when i was old enough & had enough cash to finally get some 10's i found them to be an extremly hard speaker to get good sound from,i also found them to have a horrible bass response,i even went as far as buying the seperate bass module & pasive xover that was supposed to correct the lack of a decent bass response all to no avail.

in the end i found them to be just too hard to drive & not enough bass response.

who know's though maybee regnar-dahlquist changed the design from the original saul marantz design & corrected the problem's.

You might consider a pair of the 20i's or 30i's..I think they tried to address the base issues with the two models. I saw a pair of perfect 30i's go on ebay (in Florida) for around $700. Regnar sells upgrade kits for the older models.
