I doubt that you will need a sub with them. Those Advent woofers in the DQ 10s have a nice tight bass!
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!

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. |
Picked them up...hooked them up.
All I can say is I'm blown away. Have played several records I'm very familiar with.....most notably a '77 copy of Aja, some Count Basie, Zappa, Brand X, Art Pepper, Tomita.... I heard things I've never heard before. Also some digital 'net radio' and now some Donald Fagan-Nightfly on CD..... Now I need to re-arrange some furniture. Also, got the owners manual with it. Looks like it was kept pressed in a book. Mint also.... All original Dahlquist electronics on the crossover boards. I listened also with my sub on....added some bottom end which is probably lacking due to not enough power? I think they sound incredible without the sub. All in all, I'm a happy camper! Thanks for the advice. And now I know what imaging is all about!
