Re: Alon IV dq 20 replica
Well I ended getting the Alon IV.? Arranging shipment.? Now I have to see if I'm going to use the old mc2500 to run them or look for a different amp.? I'll listen to them with what I have now which is a pioneer c90 and either two McIntosh 2100 or a single 2500.
?
Thanks for ur guys help.
?
Hopefully I can still remain in this group for help even though I don't have a Dahlquist? |

Re: Alon IV dq 20 replica
Hi, ?I have owned 10's, 20's and now have the Alon IV Mark 2's. They are fantastic speakers with no need for a subwoofer in my application. Carl was in on the design of the Dahlquists, and the Alons have pretty much the same sound. I also have them tri-wired as he recommends. Fortunately, these are my endgame speakers, as his Nola's are pricey (to me). If you like the Dahlquist sound, you would probably love these.? |

Re: Alon IV dq 20 replica
OK, now I'm really interested. Not in the speakers but the Jon update. I spent many hours trying to track him down years ago with no luck. Pretty certain I found his sister and sent an old-fashioned letter with my contact info and some non-intrusive questions. No response (but also the letter was never returned undeliverable so I can only assume it was correct). Not to challenge your dentist but there have been many unsubstantiated "Jon sightings" similar to the Loch Ness monster. No proof ever offered. Can you provide more? |

Re: Alon IV dq 20 replica
Hello,

Show quoted text
I owned a pair of DQ20’s and from what I gathered?talking with other DQ20 owners, the midrange driver ?was originally made by the?German speaker company?Magnat. The DQ20i was?changed to?a less expensive mid driver to keep costs down, making the speaker more competitive. The Alon Model II is a great?successor to the ‘20 series, created by the same designer. Also,?I may have a pair of Alon II’s available if anyone is interested. On Tuesday, February 4, 2025, 10:10 AM, plague via groups.io <haigmarino@...> wrote:

Re: Alon IV dq 20 replica
Hi, I have a pair of Alon II’s which are fantastic neutral sounding speaker with great bass. The reviews online are generally spot on. I can’t speak of them relative to DQ 20’s but I’d imagine they are similar. I have rebuilt DQ-10’s which are a bit better from the bass up, although I haven’t listened to them in a while. If the price is right don’t hesitate with the Alons.? -Haig (long time lurker) |

Re: Alon IV dq 20 replica
开云体育I think I read that the Nola founder used a different and possibly inferior mid in the 20i, maybe one became unavailable or something along those lines or to accommodate the bi amp capability. I haven’t had my 10’s in 45 years but just read a lot but they are distinctly different. ?I had a chance to buy Jon’s 10’s from his dentist in Hauppage three months ago but Cincinnati to Long Island was too far. The dentist said he liked them and Jon just gifted them to him. Even though I will likely never own a pair I do love the history etc. as I said in an earlier post I talked to a Grado guy who spoke to Jon regularly. But that’s been ten years. The dentist said Jon was still around but someone said his home just sold. So he did live independently for decades. Assisted living perhaps now?On Feb 4, 2025, at 10:04?AM, Jeff Katz via groups.io <qstieee@...> wrote:

Re: Alon IV dq 20 replica
Maybe because of a change in crossover due to the bi-amping capability in the 20i ?

Re: Alon IV dq 20 replica
How much are you asking for your DQ20i's?

Re: Alon IV dq 20 replica
Same here. Had two sets of the 10, a 20, and a 20i Still have one set of the 10 and the 20. Interesting other comment about ALON/NOLA, because original Dahlquist factory was also on Long Island (Hauppauge) On Tuesday, February 4, 2025 at 02:35:34 AM EST, brrywill via groups.io <brrywill@...> wrote: I can't speak for the Alon's, although I understand they are very good. I did however own a pair of DQ20i, and a pair of DQ20. I sold the 20i's and kept the 20's. The 20's got it right, in my opinion. |

Re: DQ20 midrange
Isolate the driver and run a signal through it. Vary the gain and see if the problem rears its ugly head. ?

Good morning. I've got a 'fuzz' coming from my left DQ20 mid. I haven't done the cap replacement on that speaker yet (this weekend they both get their new 12" Advent replacements and the new caps on left side). The mid has no rubbing sounds while gently manipulated and the cone and foam surrounds are in beautiful condition. I can't hear it all the time...just certain songs. What my friends, could it possibly be? Am I missing something? Obvious? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.?

Re: Gear
I've had the 10, the 20, and the 20i. The 20i I sold, the 20 has been my main one for years, and the 10 I have compared side by side to the 20, kept it, but it's not in the same room. Those are the only one's I ever had.
