So one of my local 'hi-fi' shops has a boat load of used equipment.
All equipment has been tested and comes with a 30-day parts and labor warranty.
A Carver
TFM-35X 250wpc-$489 and a Carver
CT-26V tuner/preamp-$189. Good price? Seem to recall the Carver being high current/high power. Love the look of it.....
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!

Hey Sejodiren, the Carver amps can provide the power you need. Since the local hi-fi shop has 30-day parts and labor warranty, that's a good start although the amp is a little high; should be closer to $375 to $400. But a brick and mortar store has to compete with eBay and Craiglist sellers so factor that in as well as their service. Also, get the paperwork for what they tested so you actually know what it is. Happy listening. |
@dfp - If the woofer surrounds are rotted, contact Bill at Millersound, for expert service. Look them over, before cranking them up. Bad surrounds can result in trashed voice-coils, and a higher-Dollar repair. http://www.millersound.net/speaker-refoaming-millersound.html |
