Two subs, lp1, restoration , two sub amps... equals how much in dollars?
?
I bet I have 1k in two subs, lp1, sub amps . So I have that set up running through one speaker outlet b. Then a Polk 12@ 300 w via speaker c. I can compare. Even with polk set at 60hz and less then half vol it produces far deeper, louder, and tighter bass ?for 459.00
?
I¡¯m a purest so I like to use dahlquist system but dollar for dollar the 65 yrs progress renders the factory system inferior sound wise.
?
I also redid the dq10 xo with clarity caps and mills resistors. That made a sig improvement to the mid and high end. Less grating to my ears. Parts cost about 250.00 to redo both.?

I've had great results by simply replacing the electrolytic capacitors in the 30+ year old LP-1 with nice new Sprague audio quality capacitors. It's easy to do if you can desolder and solder PC boards. I also put Burr-Brown opamps in. My system uses a pair of WOPL 700b amps. I blow a fuse now and then but I get couch shaking bass that's tight and clean. I sit my two DQ-1W's on their sides and use them to support my DQ-10's instead of the original speaker stands. It's the best sounding stereo system I've ever heard...I'm coming up on 68 years old and I've got my system done.
