I first heard them in the mid-70s in Des Moines, IA. I owned Infinity 2000A hybrid electrostats at the time and the shop invited me to bring them over after they closed so we could compare. I thought both speakers acquitted themselves well that evening, but I was very impressed with the Dahlquists. Shortly thereafter my roommate bought a pair of 2000As and we ran them stacked driven by a Marantz solid state amplifier, which had a lot of power, but which I finally realized sounded horrendous on top. A move to the SF Bay Area in the early 80s found me speakerless and after messing with a Polk Audio sub-sat system for a while, I found a used pair of DQ-10s which I plopped down onto black-painted cinder blocks as they had no stands. I enjoyed them for a number of years and I later sold them to a friend. They ended up in our startup company office around 1996 and at some point they disappeared in favor of an in-ceiling setup. Clearly, I have never forgotten them and I would love to hear an updated pair...
