Would you buy a Dahlquit-10 if one was available for purchase near you

I'm the one who found a pair of DQ-10's fully refurbished (woofers, cross-overs, grill cloth, custom stands) nearby for $375! Bargain of the year, perhaps! I rushed over to snag them before they disappeared!

Also, don't overlook the DQ-20 and DQ-30! Different driver arrangement (vertical vs. horizontal) but excellent SQ competitive with today's big-buck speakers!

I have had quite a collective amount of speakers and equipment throughout the years ( as many others have ).When I had my DQ10s, I drove them with a GAS Ampzilla, and with a pair of Janis W1s with the interphase amps ( 1 for each ). These were the days I was into imaging and holographic presentation,1st and foremost. Purchased a pair of Khorns, and the DQ system sounded dead and lifeless. I realized dynamic range was more important to me, as this was more like live unamplified music. I modified the DQ10 frames and stands to better deal with resonance and movement issues, because I found this to be a problem. Got rid of the Piezo, added Decca ribbons, recapped, and moved the crossovers outside of the frames, and they sounded better. On the other recent DQ10 thread brought up elsewhere, Michael Green stated that any audiophile should have the experience of owning a pair, sometime throughout their lifetime. I partly agree, because back then they did some incredible things. My opinion however, is that they do not compare to today’s offerings . But, I am glad I owned them. Enjoy ! MrD.

For 375.00 it would be hard to fault not taking a chance on those. Great sounding speaker. I remember fondly listening to I believe a mobile fidelity recording of the Door's Rider's on the storm thru a pair of DQ 10's in a darkened listening room, not having to push them loudly to get them to disappear into the night.  fun times..

Thanks guys for the input. After much consideration, I came to the conclusion that I neither have the space nor the time for this project. You can only do so much.  I will pass on it.
