I have used the DQ-10's as my primary speakers in my two channel setup for over 40 years. Purchased new, the woofers have been re-coned and the crossovers reworked by Regnar. I also mirrored the speakers. I have recently had a pair of stands made for them (original stands came apart years ago - had used the short legs for several years).
Currently powered with a Pioneer SX-1250 (also original purchase in the 70's). I spent a bit of time last year replacing all capacitors and active components in the Pioneer as well as cleaning every switch and pot. I have also used an Adcom 555, but actually prefer the sound of the Pioneer.
It all sounds now as good as I remember then. Once I got everything working I had my 29 year old son sit down and listen critically. He said he had never heard anything that had the clarity of the Dahlquists.
And I never owned a Ferrari, but my first car was a 1965 Mustang convertible that I often regret selling just a few years later. Cars I trade, stereo equipment is for keeps.
