Would you buy a Dahlquit-10 if one was available for purchase near you

 I used to sell those back in the day, they did a lot of things right and improved greatly with electronics.. a Hafler dh 500 could make them sing.  They do need some room to breathe . Imaging is outstanding set up on their stands. Front to back depth was exceptional as well as sound stage .  I did have a friend of mine who had modded his with Sequerra ribbon tweeters along with some Janus subs. That was a pretty impressive sounding set up.  room to work.

The DQ 10 was an excellent speaker in their day. It would be a different sound imo .. with good power quick, snappy bass , not a heavy low end boom to them but probably a realistic representation. DQ 10’s are a very non boxy sound with good detail. I never found the Piezo ’s that off putting , the frequency they operated at was fairly high and they could handle power for dynamic swings in music also gave them an airy or spacious sound compared to most boxed speakers at the time. The Magnepan’s are wonderful speakers but they do need space to do their thing. I think for the money they would be a fun speaker to play around with. They might surprise you, as they say the ear is always the final arbitrator..

For 375.00 it would be hard to fault not taking a chance on those. Great sounding speaker. I remember fondly listening to I believe a mobile fidelity recording of the Door's Rider's on the storm thru a pair of DQ 10's in a darkened listening room, not having to push them loudly to get them to disappear into the night.  fun times..
