Jon Dahlquist "voiced" the DQs to run off tube power. They like tube power, at least 35wpc - but they like much more if you can swing it - 70 or more watts. The crossovers are hungry - they eat up the power - must have a high-current amp. I say, why not give them more power? Most owners of the DQ-10s suggest a power amp of 125 to 150wpc, or more, and must be a high current-amp. Not sure what they mean by "high current" amp. What are the specs on the Cary CAD 120?
Best match for Cary SLP98 Preamp
Need help finding a good match of tube monoblock amplifiers for my Cary SLP98 preamplifier, to support a pair of vintage Dahlquist DQ-10's. The DQ-10's are quite power hungry, so I am not sure what how big the amps need to be. Would like to stay vintage. Listening Room is 13' x 14'.
