Re: Introduction for lurking member. Sun Valley, Idaho area.

Trust me on this. You want to hear a pair of the 10's that have new or fairly new capacitors in the crossovers. I have owned several Dahlquist models and the 9's (not the 9c's) and the 10's rule especially the 10's. Once you hear them you will insist on getting a pair.

Hi there! ?I have lurked here for a while and figured I would do an introduction. ?I am Steve, aka sunvalleylaw on lots of audio and guitar forums. ?I have had Dahlquist speakers since I was 21 and bought my first pair of DQM-5¡¯s with the nextel finish and cabinet with the ¡°cheeks¡± from Magnolia Hi-Fi on Roosevelt in Seattle. ?I still have those, and they have been re-foamed. ? I have since added two pair of m903¡¯s, because they are useful as rears in my main system when I am watching TV/video and using my 2 channel system for that, and because they are just nice in smaller spaces, and because I couldn¡¯t pass either pair up for the prices they were being offered. My flagship pair is my m907¡¯s I bought from a vintage audio guy in Boise, who had carefully refoamed them, and had too many speakers. ?Got them for only 150 which I thought was pretty good, already being refoamed, being in good cosmetic shape, and having the original matching stands. ? I don¡¯t have any of the sexy 10¡¯s or 20¡¯s or alternatively shaped Dahli¡¯s. ?But I love my more conventionally shaped ones! ? Will be considering doing some re-capping, and so am hear to learn. ?None of mine have been re-capped, and so I wonder if I should do that, especially with my beloved DQM-5¡¯s, which have always blown me away at how good they are, and how they give that almost spooky imaging, being lonely lowly 2 ways. ?I guess Regnar offers some sort of upgrade to that model. ? But want to learn before I try to do anything, when nothing is really broken right now. ? Cheers!
