My initial foray into a higher end audio system included Dahlquist DQ10, purchased after hearing at my first major audio show, thought the room with them best sound of show.
Later on became enamored with Alon house sound, owned a couple models over perhaps five years. In time I began to hear an incoherence I could never solve. Loved the mids and highs; fast, open, transparent. Bass another issue; round, slow, ponderous. Mids and highs on open baffle and bass in box didn't work imo. I tried all manner of amplifer, could never get the coherence I sought. In the end I determined only biamping, tubes on top, ss on bass would solve speaker issue, but then we have amplifier coherence issue.
At that point I gave up on open baffle, did take a while to enjoy box speakers again. And now I've gone away from box again, big time into horns now.
