Would you buy a Dahlquit-10 if one was available for purchase near you

They are listed for 250 and I went checked them out and they look to be in decent shape. The owner said he got the woofers re-foamed 8 or 10 years ago by the dahlquist company. What do you guys think?

Also I currently have a Magnepan 1.7i's do you think this speaker will be similar or have a different sound. The reason I ask is that I have limited space and only want to get if it is something different from what I have.

Thanks for all the responses.

Keep the 1.7i speakers.

The DQ 10 was an excellent speaker in their day. It would be a different sound imo .. with good power quick, snappy bass , not a heavy low end boom to them but probably a realistic representation. DQ 10’s are a very non boxy sound with good detail. I never found the Piezo ’s that off putting , the frequency they operated at was fairly high and they could handle power for dynamic swings in music also gave them an airy or spacious sound compared to most boxed speakers at the time. The Magnepan’s are wonderful speakers but they do need space to do their thing. I think for the money they would be a fun speaker to play around with. They might surprise you, as they say the ear is always the final arbitrator..

I'm the one who found a pair of DQ-10's fully refurbished (woofers, cross-overs, grill cloth, custom stands) nearby for $375! Bargain of the year, perhaps! I rushed over to snag them before they disappeared!

Also, don't overlook the DQ-20 and DQ-30! Different driver arrangement (vertical vs. horizontal) but excellent SQ competitive with today's big-buck speakers!
