Thank you John. My DQ-20 are about 6' apart and about 1.5' from from the wall right now.

Can you send a photo/ drawing of you potential room?

be about 15' from the TV/speakers. In their current positions, the two DQ-10a are ~ 10 feet (three metres) apart from each other, and are ~ two feet (60 cm) in front of one wall of the listening room. The two DQ-1W are adjacent to each other and are in the center, between the two DQ-10a. Neither of the DQ-10a is close to a corner of the room. The listening location that I use most often is ~ 12 feet (3,6 metres) away from the speaker stacks, and is centered left to right with respect to the stacks. The two DQ-10a are angled somewhat toward the listening location. John Joseph McVeigh Butler, Maryland USA

Yes, I'm not sure if the placement the subs in the corners or "inside
the DQ-20s" is optimal. It will look good but I do not want to a
"good looking setup." I need to have a setup which will sound good.
As the Romans said, "Experientia docet." In other words, try them in both positions, and hear what results you obtain. Good luck, John Joseph McVeigh Butler, Maryland USA

suggestions from you guys anyway. Thank you. The placement of subwoofers is generally not as demanding as the placement of full-range speaker systems. Our ears are not far enough apart dor our auditory system to be able to act as an interferometer and to discern direction at bass frequencies. Placement in a corner can result in more acoustic loading. That may be advantageous or disadvantageous, depending on the particular situation, what one is trying to achieve, and how demanding the listener is. John Joseph McVeigh Butler, Maryland USA

That is a difficult situation.? You might be able to compensate, at
least to an extent, with the L-R balance control on the preamplifier,
integrated amplifier, or receiver.? There is a lot of furniture in that
room, and most of the chairs are in non-ideal positions.? The only one
that comes close to a good placement is the one in the midle along the
long side of the table closest to the camera.? I would not attempt to
do serious listening in that room other than with headphones.

I have two DQ-10a, two DQ-1w. and an LP1 crossover.? I am the original

that because, at the time, I worked for an electronics magazine that
covered audio and other topics.? So, I had industry connections.
The rule of thumb that I have always followed is that stereo
loudspeaker systems should form either an isoceles triangle with the
prime listening position, or an equilateral triangle with the prime
listening position.
This page,

recommends an equilateral-triangle arrangement.
Over the years, I have had my Dahlquists in several different rooms.? I
have generally used an isoceles-triangle arrangement.? ?The spacing has
depended upon the dimensions of the particular room in which the
Dahlquists were mounted at the time.

Re: NYC - Manhatten - Stereo/Record Shops
This is a limited run speaker from 1976! Most have been thrown away Unfort. This guy is 70-80 yrs old. He does it himself . When he dies whatever he does is gone. Yes those days of walking into Meyer emco ?are gone. In MD we have Gramaphone for high end equip?

Re: Greetings from a new member!
I heard Regnar is backlogged and not accepting speakers right now. Maybe the guy has a health issue.

Having Regnar redo your crossovers would be a lateral move at best. You already have Solens (Regnar uses rebadged Solen caps) and non-inductive resistor upgrades in your present xovers.
If you really want to upgrade, I would recommend using Clarity, Sonicap, Mundorf or some other high end brand of cap. Of course, this may be cost prohibitive for your needs.?
BTW, Regnar is hard to correspond with and quite expensive for what you get.
Regarding the LP1 I believe Frank Van Alstine has performed upgrades to this unit. You may want to give him a call. Frank has been in the business for many years and manufactures some fine gear.? ?

Re: Greetings from a new member!
I use the clarity blue caps and change from 5.6 to 6.0 for the mid range and after about 40 hours of break and it was a big improvement where the mid highs weren’t quite as harsh I also changed to resistors and I’m sure you know in the files there are parts list And two different parts list and complete instructions for phase 12 and three of a restoration person. The only thing I’ve done is change crossover caps, and resistors. The other guy who was working on the LP one no longer is doing it, but he sent me a bunch of diagram and schematics of , what he used to do I’d have to dig them out. The problem was when you modify the LP one. The power supply isn’t strong enough to change the op amp without doing a lot of work the biggest defect the LP one is the RCA gets loose or comes loose and you can’t get a good connection , if somebody’s interested, I’ll try to dig out the schematics he sent me?
