Yea, check them out. I had a pair of the 20i's for 10 years and decided to downsize. They do like power and they do like tubes to sound their best -- the tweeter can be alittle unrulely with the wrong amp(85 db efficent, '4' ohm load). The foam surround on the woofer does go out over time. They were designed by Carl Marchisotto now of Alon so you can see the future evolution of his design. The price does seem kinda high considering the age of the speaker.
Dahlquist dq 20's Query?
I've found a pair near mint to fair quality Dahlquist DQ 20's for sale for about a $1000 or so. They are at least six to eight years old and have been owned by two people already. Seems like they were mostly used for loud rock and home theatre so there is a little worry on my end about the speakers and drivers being damaged in these past few years.
I haven't heard them yet but have an open invitation to do so at my leisure. Has anyone got info on these neat looking little guys. If you would be so kind as to share any company history or performance info you have I would appreciate it. -thx much
