DQ-10s (original) for sale
They have the little mid century legs. non-mirrored. I replaced one bass driver and the foam for both. All the other drivers work. All original, as far as I can tell. Sound great. $600/pr picked up

Re: Restoring DQ-10, super muffled / distorted
Of course getting all the polarities exactly, correct is a critical issue. However, that will not cause the issue described. likewise, bad capacitor’s will not cause issues you describe.

Re: Restoring DQ-10, super muffled / distorted
I don’t know what blowing raspberries sound like other than a fart like sound . Never heard a speaker do that.
Can you send an audio clip?
Lacking that I would focus on the woofers, particularly the

Re: Restoring DQ-10, super muffled / distorted
One thing - in one of the rebuild member guides, it mentions putting rope caulk behind the woofer when screwing it back into the main body.? I didn't notice any caulk when I took it out and didn't

Re: Height Placement of DQ10s
I have done a fair amount of work on this. Assuming a normally balanced system and traditional equilateral triangle layout the optimum listening axis is perpendicular to the top baffle both vertically

I have my DQ10s raised with mid-woofer/tweeter at hear level at my listening position. ?This is raised about 7” above the intended height of the DQ10s on their original stands. ?Wondering if I

Re: DQ-20i replacement tweeter?
I got some 851200's installed. I eventually biamped them off the rear surround of my rxv1300 (110x6) and ended up blowing a woofer fuse. Seemed like one woofer was kinda rattling.
When I refoamed

Re: DQ10 Tweeter Fuse?
Would the ferro fluid need removal from the Visation tweeter?? I read somewhere that was reasonable and elsewhere maybe not so much.Replacing the tweeter seems much more reasonable than redoing the

Re: DQ10 Tweeter Fuse?
Roy, are you happy with the sound as is? If you are I would suggest leaving the tweeter in place.
That is a higher quality tweeter than the original BUT it is a difference impedance and sensitivity so

Re: DQ10 Tweeter Fuse?
Thanks for all responses.? I am going to take back that the tweeter has not been replaced; I must have at some point (probably late 90s because of the apparent date of manufacture).? It is a SEAS

Re: DQ10 Tweeter Fuse?
It is not the nonlinearity of the fuse per se but the unpredictability of the fuse holder that is the largest part of this issue.
I have measured this using the differential input on a TEK scope

Joseph, also an EE here. And also a ham. I bet you're a patent attorney with than background.
Anyway, for the non-EEs, if you overdrive your speaker, something will give. A resistor, a driver

Re: DQ10 Tweeter Fuse?
I can't believe no one has pointed out yet, that the inline device in the photo is not a fuse holder. It's a bullet-style inline quick disconnect.
I'm in agreement with others that neither tweeter,
