My first pair of high end speakers was the Fried Beta speakers with the matching subwoofer but all that changed when I heard the original Alon l speakers. Real soundstage with articulate bass and it beat the ML Aries I had at the time.
Who remembers the Dahlquist DQ-10's?
My first pair of "high-end" speakers. Power hungry critters but what I would give for an updated pair. I powered these with a Peavey CS-400 and a Maccomack Deluxe Line drive passive preamp!! Those were the days! Young and dumb I suppose?
