Who remembers the Dahlquist DQ-10's?

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?

Email,

I thought Harmony House was on the West Side, near Lincoln Center. These are long damaged brain cells, but I thought that there was also a Harvey’s Electronics nearby. Lyric HiFi and one or two other places were on the Upper East Side, IIRC.

I lived on the other side of the bridge ( Westchester county). I borrowed and bought many speakers from them,including Kef 105's B&W 802's and many other things that I just can't remember. BTW,I wasn't richer than you just older!

I don't know how many times I have had encounters with these.  While in college in the 70s I went to a stereo store in Charlotte and heard them for the first time.  I had previously lusted after Bose 901s but when I heard Stevie Wonder's Boogie On Reggae Woman on the DQ10s I was amazed at the detail I could hear with instruments and these became my new standard.  In about 1980 a guy I worked with had a pair of DQ10s that he was driving with a pair of Sanyo amps, something like 200 watts each, along with a powered subwoofer, thinking how impressive it was at the time.  In the mid-80s I went back to graduate school and my roommate had a pair of DQ10s that he drove with a Hafler SS amp and Dynaco tubed preamp.  I haven't heard them for about 30 years and wonder how they would hold up today against better designs.

John Dahlquist was a frequent guest back in the Early 70's at the New York audiophile club. He frequently explained and demonstrated  his Dq10 pre and post product model for us.
having said that, the loudspeaker was theoretically supposed to be a moving coil proximity of the quad 57. While it became the rave of Harry Pearson, the speaker was indeed colored and a touch stringent; nothing like a quad by any means. The Spendor BC1 made it look sound like a toy. 
John lives on Long Island at present.
