I have a pair of pre mirror imaging DQ10's along with the DQ-1W sub woofer and the LP-1 variable low pass filter. I was never happy with the bass response of the DQ-10s until I added the other units. I run through the low pass filter into another amp which powers the sub. The results are amazing. The LP-1 offers variable settings that allow for nearly any kind of low end you might enjoy. The DQ-1W and LP-1 are both offered at Ebay on a fairly regular basis. If you have a few bucks to spend, you should give them a try.
The best amp or improvement for Dahlquist DQ-10's
I have been looking at and listening to many speakers but every time I come home to my DQ-10's I still enjoy them most. Their flaw, and the reason I'm looking, is the bass driver and/or the bass enclosure. The sound is not "tight" or "punchy" enough. I've read that this can be alleviated with certain amps. (Although I am skeptical). I've even contemplated changing the bass driver and bass enclosure.
MY QUESTIONS: Is there a speaker out that has the same mid's and high's but with "tight" bass? Is there an amp that really could tighten this "loose" bass? (No suggestions over 2k used market).
SETUP: I have a Rega Planet cd player and Rega 25 turntable feeding an Audible Illlusions 3A pre-amp with Amperex gold pin 6922's going into a Rotel 980BX 100 watt per channel amp.
