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?

I heard them in a friend of my sisters house, who worked at Harmony House in NYC. I cant remember the amp (or receiver) but I remember a Sony Tone Arm that totally blew my mind. he used a glass cake cover to go over his table, or at least, thats what it looked like. he played the most uninteresting piece of classical music I ever heard, and I was glued to and moved b y every single note. If thats not a compliment to those speakers, I don’t know what is. That experience pushed me into the high end, 40 years ago.
bdp24----The stores were named Accurate Audio. I still have an Eagle 2a that I bought a few years ago, my original had a problem, I took it to a repair shop in Culver City for repair where it has been for 5+ years. I gave him the name of the person back east that rebuilds and modifies Eagle amps but he chose not to listen to their advise, he knew better, and did his own thing, told me there was a problem, and I haven't seen it since. I'm back into the chase of him to get it back !!!

Yeah yeah, Accurate Audio. Back when all those little appointment-only one-man shops sprung up everywhere, selling budget high-end lines. Brooks Berdan left GNP in Pasadena and worked out of his house for a couple of years before getting his storefront in Monrovia.

That Eagle 2A is definitely worth getting back. The repair shop guy vamoosed?

No he's still doing ARC repairs in his little 2nd story hovel. I have someone that can get past his screenings of people that are after him and is willing to ask what's happened to it. This should be good!!!! I'll let you know what happens !!!!

Cerrot - was harmony house also a repair and computer place on the upper east side of Manhattan? If that’s the place it was there I first heard quad 63’s us. I walked In repair my mac Se computer  and said hey are those electrostats (I had read about them). I was totally shocked even thoug they were run with a quad amp and standard radio shack speaker cables. I ended up buying a used Crosby moded 63 as my first high end system. 
Yogi- so I guess you grew up in Rockland as well? You were either richer or older than me since I couldn’t afford anything from ear drum.
What did you borrow or buy from th em?
