Who remembers the Dahlquist DQ-10's?

DQ10s.  The first speakers I ever heard that disappeared while playing and the standard I have set for audio speakers ever since.  That was in the mid 70s at Myer Emco in the DC area. I have lusted after them but have never been able to afford the level of amplification they deserve. 

A piece of old trivia.  I'm Phil Schwartz's daughter who was the US importer of Fidelity Research phono cartridges.

Jon, Saul and John Bedini used to exhibit with us at the Jockey Club in Las Vegas in the 70s.  John Bedini used to do hi-end amplifiers.  

One time we were getting feedback/noise, and Saul just grabbed a piece of aluminum foil and placed it on the wires to kill the noise.  Such a low tech fix.

The other part of it was that Jon used to say that his speakers couldn't be blown.  John cranked up Funky Town by Lipps Inc. and cranked it up.  Pop.  We all giggled and popped it back into place.

I, too, was at the Hotel Pennsylvania. And, I too, remember the Dahlquists. ( and, the Shahinian Obelisk's).
They were outstanding.

These stories have brought back wonderful memories of when I was "first bitten" with obtaining better sound reproduction at home. I owned Magneplanar MGIIB speakers and my friend had the DQ10’s. Some of the best care free times I have had!

I agree with 'first bitten'- a very good descriptor.
