It's going to be a little router work (my siblings own a very high end cabinet shop). I replaced the non original woofer that it came with, with Advents 12" and the tweeter with the Scanspeak D2008/852100. The reason I'm changing out the mids is because one has a noticeable rattle. Josh at Madisound set me up with all new Solens caps. I refinished the honey oak ? with a darker rich stain and clear coat. My son has the bottom screw on 'front pedestal' at the shop now to fill in the unavoidable gouges in the black panel part. New black fabric added. Not original by any DQ20 standard, but appealing to me. Hope all is well. Thanks for your response. Mick
Which mids are you getting?
These DQ20i s are at our house in Stamford CT and I had the drivers at our home in Trumbull where
my measurement equipment is.? The Trumbull home burnt down and most of the drivers are destroyed.
I have Large Advent woofers that will work and will probably buy the modern tweeter and have a modern
midrange in mind.

Pete. Thanks for your reply. Madisound squared me away on polarity.? I have so far replaced the woofer and tweeter and ordered mids from Josh at Madisound yesterday. I'm not so much of a purist when it comes to the DQ20'S...meaning everything doesn't have to be exactly the same. I'm a lover of fantastic sound and also very in tune visually with the Dahlquist DQ20.? I think we may be Friends because of the Dahlquist.
Thanks again. Mick
I recently purchased a very clean pair of DQ20i s and am in the process of restoring them.
Woofers were recently done by Miller Sound by PO.
And I'm carefully documenting them on Audio Karma, and correcting the schematic that is
available online.? Taking the red dot on the original tweeters as?+, yes the black/green wire goes to the?
+and the black/white goes to the -.
System documented here (not done):

Fellas. Can you tell me the polarity of the Scanspeak tweeter. Black/white, green/black. Which is which? The back label is gone where I assumed the +/- was located. Got my new ones today and didn't want to fudge it up. Thanks Mick
