Dahlquist DQ-10 fuse holders and other upgrades?
Yep, Mingles is right on. Back in the day, I inserted Fulton Brown copper wire sections in place of the fuses, which yielded a modicum of improvement in sound. I used a 250W per channel amp , and I cranked them up quite a bit without problem. I'm ... 
Dahlquist DQ 10 help.
Biguzi:Ponnie is right on the money. High current amps is what the DQ-10 needs. And, if you can perform any of the good driver/crossover/wiring upgrades to the speakers, you will be even more impressed. There are days when I wish I still had mine,... 
My Dream SubWoofer - does it exist?
I'll bet that Tyler Acoustics could make you one per your request. Give Tyler a call. 
Coda conundrum
Let's de-mystify this conundrum. CODA has developed their major market in Europe. I do not know the orgins of this business approach, but I suspect that the Europeans like the flavor of CODA sonics. Without going into great detail, I would describ... 
In search of the right SS integrated amp
Nwickend:CODA's latest version of the CSi does indeed have balanced inputs. A phone call to the CODA factory will be an inexpensive way to answer your technical questions in the most direct way possible. Sonically, this unit is very, very impressive. 
In search of the right SS integrated amp
Hooper knows what he's talking about. I have owned my CODA CSi for about 2 years now, and it lacks for nothing in any department. Search this product and see my previous comments. If you are interested, Call Doug Dale at the factory and start a di... 
What Integrated Amps have the sonics of Separates?
Audiosoul:CODA CSI Limited Edition is a great choice, especially if you can use 220 Watts of power. You will see several comments previously in the Audiogon archives if you search, and I can highly recommend this product. 
Tube amp recommendation for Dahlquist DQ10s
Mingles' response is right on target. In order to make those speakers sing, you need much more juice. Back when I owned DQ-10's in the 1980's, I used 250 watts per channel, which was very nice. I would say anything solid state north of 150W wwould... 
Speaker match with Spectral?
The DMA-50 was designed to be ideal in driving Quad ESL63's. With a high quality analog front end and good cables, the sonics in reproducing small ensemble pieces is really something special. 
$5000 integrated budget: Please help me choose....
Don't overlook the CODA CSi Limited Edition made in Sacramento, California. First class, high quality build with powerful (220W), dynamic, musical sonics, all with remote control. If interested, run a search on Audiogon for previous reviews/commen... 
Which Integrated got you off the merry go round?
CODA CSi Limited Edition. Strong power, sweet sounding with full remote control operation. 
speakers for classical music
I love my Tyler Acoustics Woodmere 2 floorstanders. They do everything right. Adding a subwoofer, limited from about 40 Hz down, makes the system truly splendid. I also use Quad ESL63's in a different system. While they are nearly unbeatable in th... 
Tyler Woodmere II: any advices?
OK, Mr. Kanuk:I have done my best to give you the straight scoop. Here is some more, intended to get to the bottom of where this thread is going.Are you living in America? Even if you are in Europe, I think that one telephone call to Tyler will cl... 
Tyler Woodmere II: any advices?
Kanuk:Might I suggest a game plan for you?1. Call Tyler today and ask about pricing, options and amplification.2. If you decide to pull the trigger but don't have the ideal amp to drive them, just use the amp you have now and change out amps later... 
Tyler Woodmere II: any advices?
Kanuk:Your choice of Tyler's Woodmere 2 speakers would be a good one. I own a pair with the outboard crossovers, and I am very impressed. Imaging, presence and natural sound are characteristic at low, medium and high volumes. They play nice small ...
