Enjoy your DQ-10's, welcome to the family! I think you'll find lots of cool folks who have owned, or still do, this classic. It's also cool that you get to start off stock.

Haha.....love it 'waterzlife'. In the late 70's, I had a friend who owned a Phase Linear 400.....can't recall the speakers. Thorens TT. I still remember how it sounded. Bachman Turner Overdrive f'n rocked the dump!
Fear and awe is a great analogy though!
Thanks for all the feedback everyone! Was looking at power amps on the ole interwebs today.... |
Here’s hoping they serve you and your music well! I do recall making a couple DQ-10 owners/customers very happy, selling them Hafler DH-500s, to go with. A very dependable and stable amp, still easy to find on the used market, with lots of available upgrades. In most, replacing the electrolytics would be a necessity, after all these years. One caveat: fan noise, especially if you push it hard. ie: https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2322090.m570.l1313.TR1.TRC0.A0.H0.Xhafler+500... |
Thanks rodman99999! I'm kind of leery about buying used so I was just looking at new. Yikes....$$$$ Probably wait till tax time next year. I'm old and retired...haha. Gonna see how they sound first with my current SS set-up. I gotta think they'll blow away the Yamaha towers I bought in '96, even without some 'mega-wattage'...and to me those sound pretty damn good. I also have a Klipsh 8" sub so I'm sure that'll compensate for the lack of bass response that I read these supposedly lack. We shall see! |
