Thanks rodman99999! I'm kind of leery about buying used so I was just looking at new. Yikes....$$$$ Probably wait till tax time next year. I'm old and retired...haha. Gonna see how they sound first with my current SS set-up. I gotta think they'll blow away the Yamaha towers I bought in '96, even without some 'mega-wattage'...and to me those sound pretty damn good. I also have a Klipsh 8" sub so I'm sure that'll compensate for the lack of bass response that I read these supposedly lack. We shall see!
Dahlquist DQ10
New user, first post. I don't consider myself an audiophile...haha. I have the opportunity to purchase a set of DQ 10's @ $375 for the pair. Been on the 'Google' researching but figured I'd just get some new info here. Is this a good deal? They have been re-foamed but no tweaking of the electronics. Seller says they have not been used much. Will my Yamaha RX V677 7.1 SS receiver have sufficient power for these if used in 2 channel mode? I find conflicting opinions about this. I remember these when they first came out in the 70's and the reviews were fantastic. Just wonder if they still compare to today's speakers. Thanks!

Here are the amps I’ve used with my DQ-10s over the years with great success: Odyssey Stratos series, (the Dual-Mono was the best) Anthem Amp 2SE+, (hybrid tube/SS) Aragon 4004 MKII Belles 150A Reference Belles 350A Reference Any of these would be much better then your Yammy! IMHO, the Belles 350A Reference was the best overall. What a FANTASTIC amplifier, but the others were no slouches... |
Thanks for the tips. I got the Yammy free as a safety award for 30 years of accident free driving. And the Klipsch sub was also an award. It was part of a SS 5.1 package. The satellites sound like crap but the sub cranks. I guess I could consider myself an educated 'newb' now! I'm always skeptical about joining forums because they're so many buttholes on them. You folks have been great and I appreciate the advise. Lots of good info on here.....scrambled my old brain cells a bit.....haha. |
Far as new, good sounding, SS on a budget goes, these are hard to beat: http://www.odysseyaudio.com/products-stratos-stereo.html or http://www.odysseyaudio.com/products-stratos-mono.html Manufactured right here, in Indianapolis, IN. |
