| After the thrill is gone I’ve had DQ10’s and still have some Acoustat Model X, panel speakers. Last year I bought my first pair of “Box” speakers in years. I like them a lot, but there’s something about open baffle and panel speakers I’m really missing. Haven’t heard th... | |

| How did you get started in this hobby Back in the mid seventies, I had a friend who had stereo equipment and camera & darkroom equipment. Through him I met the owner of a small stereo store in Collinsville, Illinois. Dixon became my pusher and led me through from Bozak to Dalhques... | |

| Will rebuilt Quad ESL 57s take the place on a great $30K dynamic speaker? The ESL 57’s are wonderful speakers and my only suggestion would be to add a couple of small (8”-10”) subwoofers. The faster the better! That’s what I did with my Acoustat Model X’s. All the best. JD | |
| Qobuz or Apple Music? Now that Apple Music is doing 24/192 lossless, it’s much much better. Having said that, I’ll have to give Qobuz another try. | |
