Who remembers the Dahlquist DQ-10's?


My first pair of "high-end" speakers.  Power hungry critters but what I would give for an updated pair.  I powered these with a Peavey CS-400 and a Maccomack Deluxe Line drive passive preamp!!  Those were the days!  Young and dumb I suppose?

Our last meeting of our audio club had a pair of beautiful DQ-10s and they sounded great. I believe we drove them with an old receiver. Not sure of the power. Really brought back memories

When I had my shoppe in Florida(early 80's), I upgraded a few DQ-10 crossovers, replaced the Motorola Piezos with JVC ribbon tweeters and mirror imaged the customers' pairs.  Talk about sweet performers(for their time)!
rodman99999-I heard rumors that the very change you mention made them sing.  I had new crossovers put in my Klipsch and talk about listening enjoyment! 
First heard them at Opus One in Pittsburgh, where I grew up, when they were introduced. The owner, Tasso Spanos, was a lovely, passionate guy who really knew music and loved good quality gear. In the day, he was a big advocate of double KLH 9's and Marantz tube amps, then as the industry evolved in the early '70s, became an ARC dealer. The Dahlquists were featured as a top choice in his store, which was located on the main shopping boulevard in downtown- a choice location (but for the streetcar noise). Tasso had the first Monks cleaning machine I ever saw in action, was very early in the high-end video thing- using the Advent projection TV with some sort of delay line for faux multi-channel sound and was quite clever about putting together systems. His shop was one of my first experiences in the so-called "high-end" at the commercial level, apart from the stuff some folks were DIY'ing in their basements. 
Whart - I knew I liked you for some strange reason, could not place my finger on it.  Now I know!  A fellow Pennsylvanian!  Born on the other side of the state, in Philly!  Small world!
