Has anyone noticed that a lot of people just don’t seem to get it about Dahlquists? ?Particularly the ones beyond the 10’s and sexier ones. ?
People just don’t seem to understand what they are or how they could dethrone some of the other usual suspects. ?For example, I picked up for free an old set of Boston Acoustics A150’s. ?(See waiting on the side in this pic, from when I was trying them out head to head with my m907’s yesterday). ?I posted a thread on Audiokarma and said how I really like them and I was lucky to inherit them for free (though I will want to refoam them at least) but that my m907’s were just better. ?The two speakers each have 1 inch dome tweeters, the Dahli’s having the VIFA’s, the BA’s having a BA tweeter, the BA’s have s 4.5 inch mid, and the m907’s the 5inch VIFA, and each having 10 inch woofers. ?
The m907’s want more power to get the same decibels out of the same streamed Tidal music I was using. ?But to me just a one good step above the BA’s. ?Seems like a few on the AK site just don’t understand how I could say that. ?Well, there it is. ?I passed up the BA’s (two way period version) in favor of my DQM-5’s back in the mid 80’s when I bought new for a reason. ?To me, I liked the balance, imaging, punchy tight bass, of the Dahli’s better. ?And the BA’s just seemed slightly shrill or harsh in the treble, tweeter range to me. ?Just my ears. ?
Anyway, do you guys run into that with your audio friends or people you meet or talk to? ?Not that it really matters as it is not a competition. ?But just fun to yack about with other appreciators of this brand.
