My sacrilegeous question to audiophiles out there regarding parametric equalizer.
Nothing wrong with it at all. Only the purists here think of it as sacrilegious. 
What to do with my old equipment being replaced?
If the Dahlquist DQ-10's are in any decent shape, you should be able to get some money out of them via Audiogon listings. The buzz you hear might be the back thin metal cage vibrating that covers the back of the drivers and crossover. As far as th... 
Full Range under $5k-ish
Vandersteen 3A Sigs would be a good choice at that price point.Audiotroy (Dave) does not like them because he does not sell them. Or maybe he feels they are not up to his standards for loudspeakers in that price range. WHICH is just his opinion. 
Storing Unused Audio Equipment
+1, sbankI've seen basements that had relatively high humidity percentages that would warp (severely) veneer wood finishes and open up corner joints in otherwise good speaker cabinets. This could happen even if the speaker was inside a carton off ... 
new L100?
tomic601,Sounds good to me. I'll bring over a Mofi Original Master recording of Foghat's "Fool for the City." LP. Slow Ride is one of my faves. No nice guys here, were gonna bust the lease that night!  Right? ;-)P.S. Don't forget the Knob Creek Ry... 
BlueSound Node 2 - connect to pre-amp direct or to Oppo UDP-205 and then to pre-amp
theo,A bit off topic, but was wondering how the Chord Qutest would compare against the Ayre CODEX. Both are similar in price. I too, stream with the Node2. 
new L100?
Makes me wonder what Abbey Road Studios in London was doing back in the 60's and 70's. Or were they WAY ahead of the curve....

new L100?
michaelgreenaudio,Michael, I didn't try all conceivable methods and positions of the older L-100's, but that speaker became way to colored for my tastes. The tweeter was sizzling hot, very forward midrange, and a woofer that sounded like a dull go... 
Who are some of elite sub woofers?
Creekmaster,"they're" not "there"   :-) 
Do you listen to equipment or music.
s2000cr,My gosh man, you must have been around before the Dead Sea was even sick!...:-)

Also for music, it's Vandy, Vandy, Vandy...... 
new L100?
I had the JBL-100 back in the 70's. I haven't heard the new 100, but I doulbt it sounds anything like the vintage version. Maybe....a good thing??? 
Altec A7 yay or nay?
Bass shy? Um.... No. They have plenty of bass output. It's just that they don't go real deep into the bass region. 40-45hz is just about it.  I had a pair of the home versions of  the A-7. Large squatty cabs with walnut finish (846-B). I loved tho...
