Who remembers the Dahlquist DQ-10's?

Kenny I don’t get back to Pa very often- we were invited to an outdoor party in eastern Pa some years ago- it was a sort of pot luck/bonfire. I had forgotten that the preferred garb was camouflage hunting gear with orange day-glo hats, and everybody brought something they killed. After many years in NY, I’m splitting time in Texas, and plan to relocate there, so in some ways, it takes me back to my roots. The one thing about the ’Burgh that is universally recognizable- the accent. Some people manage to lose it, but I can’t tell you how many times I’ve met someone and after a few words, I’ll say: "You’re from Pittsburgh, right?" They often say " How’d younz know?" It did have its good points, and I know many of my peers stayed there. Was a good place to grow up in the ’60s. The rust belt decline in the ’70s was sad.

Carl Marchisotto of Nola and Alon fame worked with Jon Dahlquist on the DQ-10. DQ-10s were one of the first high end speakers I heard, driven by an Amber 70 amp. Very inspiring stuff at the time! Cheers,
Spencer

PS: Kenny if you are still in the neighborhood, you might want to PM me, as I am President of Philadelphia Area Audio Group. 

Whart - I too spent time in NY, Angelica then Rochester and from there to Maine.  Glad I left because the gun laws got out of control.  Now, I spend my time between Canada and Maine for work.  Off to Paris tomorrow then Calais.
Sbank - I grew up in Malvern and when I am back in town I will most certainly look you up. 
Small world for sure.

I owned a pair back in the day, and enjoyed them very much. I drove them with a Bryston amp. one of my sources was a Nakamichi 600 cassette deck – what a beauty!

I first heard them at the Sound Center in the San Fernando Valley. They were playing a recording (vinyl of course) of Big Bill Broonzy. Man, that guitar was twanging the blues for real. Great speaker, indeed.
