Six years ago bought a pair of DQ10’s with upgraded crossovers, new woofer surrounds and custom stands/new black grill cloth/new walnut side pieces. Still a formidable sounding speaker! Cost $375/local pickup. I first listened to DQ10’s back in ’77 at my local high end emporium.
Old man pointing and wheezing,. I remember when........
I am happy for all of you (us) that have been in this rat race....er, ah Hobby for sometime and remember your own Golden Oldies. Some that I remember fondly:
Pioneer PD-65
Advent Receiver
Original Large Advents
Dahlquist DQ-10
Martin Logan Sequel
Original Monster cables/interconnects
These were some of the beginnings. I had the CJ-ART, many Audio Research units..and other big names, but I expected those to be good. That little Advent Receiver was not expected to be much...but really gave much pleasure and growth to my audio journey (a nod to Steve Perry)
