Re: Alon IV dq 20 replica
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.
|
I'm trying to look for a dq20i to buy and it's been hard.? I usually come up with Carl's alon IV speaker going for sale.? I wonder if anyone here has heard the Alons and can chime in
|
Got my new Advent 12's from simply speakers installed in my DQ20's. Perfect fit. Even the pre drilled screw holes matched up exactly. Pretty happy so far.

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.?

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.

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.

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
