Dahlquist DQ 10, is it worth new woofer?


Hello,

I have an opportunity to get my hands on a pair of DQ 10's for next to nothing (free). The only problem is the woofer on one of the speakers is blown and needs to be replaced. I noticed another message on this site where one of the people stated not to replace the woofer. Does that mean with another type of woofer or are you referring to the speaker can not be repaired?

How much $ would it take to repair the speaker?

I am not very familiar with the Dahlquists, what type of sound can I expect out of this speaker. I am currently using a Marantz SR 6300, will this be enough amp to push these speakers?

Thanks,
glennw

I have a pair of DQ10's with the same exact problem. The left Woofer is stressed. But my solution was not to replace it but to improv. (mostly because there is no work you can do that could ever match what dalquist did) What i did was added a active subwoofer to my system and cut off all low pass frequincys to the DQ's. This setup makes wall shake crack and would make Gorge Lucas crap his pants.
