20(I) or 20’s don’t come close to the DQ 10’s entire system with Lp1 active xo, and a 300+ wpc max amp. I found the two dq1’s are happy with 100 wpc amp ( brand didn’t change much) providing it all runs into a Mac preamp On Wed, Jan 22, 2025 at 9:47?AM richard adelberg via <richardadelberg= [email protected]> wrote:
The 30(I) don’t sound like DQ 10’s! I had them side by side for a while.? I also have a DQ-10 set but I prefer the 20 to save space.

Hey group! I just wanted to personally thank those who have given input to my questions. It's been a great bunch since I'm just a new member. I was curious if anyone wanted to share a quick snapshot of their gear. I like to see what others have put together to run their Dahlquist speakers. I'll start. Be well all! Mick

Pm me, any would be better the 70 wpc Yamaha, since I’ve tried so many amps, brands, I can say I worked my way up the 2500 500wpc . I began with a Pioneer sx1250 (165 wpc) and Polk powered sub. I even tried MAC 4100 receiver which BTW IS PROB ?the best cost effective way to obtain a MAC tuner, preamp and 100 wpc amp, for a long while I used it as my tuner and preamp before I bought MR78 and c31v with remote . I can confidently say that the DQ10’s performed much better through each diff amp! Although there’s only a small diff between ma2300 and 2500! However the channel separation was the most obvious difference.?

I don’t need all 3 Mac amps, since I lost left ear hearing there’s no point in having 2205/ 2300/2500 . I have two LP1 sub xo and one MX 1 , enough drivers to build two Dq10’s sets .?

Hey all! I Want to thank you all for your input (and comforting). I should have done more due diligence before the transaction! My lesson! Hey I'd love to see some of fellow members gear! I'd like to see others Dahlquist setups! I think the line for over-improvment is pretty wide...as I love the look of Dahlquist. They aren't your HPM-XXX! So what you got! Mick

This is a replacement that has been well received. A good choice if you can’t find the original 10” in a 12” frame woofer.?
