That is great news!? I have spent many a night in those places in Tokyo and other Japanese cities listening to a high-end vintage system with a glass of scotch.? It is sooo cool.? I Think I will talk to a place here in Cape Coral about setting up such a situation.

If I were in your situation, I’d have?Bill Legall?rebuild the woofer. He can do miracles. I’ve had him rebuild several woofers over the years and his work is impeccable. He’s also one of the nicest people I’ve ever met. Here’s a link to his website:

If nothing moves the voice coil has distorted and is wedged in the magnet
Replacing the driver is one choice.?
Another option is to do a reconing, If you can find a kit. ?Reconing includes a new cone and surround, but most importantly a new coil and spider. ?Reconing is not too difficult if you take your time. ?The hard part will be finding a reconing kit. ?

Auction Zip , the auction pick up point was in Ohio somewhat close to Cleveland. I would have to say the DQ’s were probably the steal of the auction. There were a lot of other electronics in that sale that I was not familiar with their values.
I have two original Dahlquist DQ-1W subwoofers for sale. Both have nice wood veneers (maybe an 8/10) and the grill cloth has been replaced with acoustically transparent cream (or off white) fabric with a classy wool look. No other mods - original?drivers with no issues whatsoever. Both units work flawlessly. Non-smoking environment. They have been carefully packed away. Moving and no room for them.
I also have a DQ-LP1 crossover I want to sell with them. Will not sell Xover separately. Doubt anyone wants to pay for shipping these so if interested I am near Durham, NC. If interested I can be reached at sky27709@...
Hello from Australia and congrats to all on the fantastic site.
I've recently "almost" completed a restoration on my DQ-10's and the last task was to attach the side panels but alas, they are nowhere to be found, solely due to relocation in another town and the rogue efforts of some "knuckle dragging neanderthal" moonlighting as a removalist...
So my real problem is that I need to obtain side panels and hoping someone on this site can help me.
Many thanks in advance for advice or direction..
Cheers..
Re: Powered sub recommendation to match with DQ-10's
There's some confusion here. Not trying to match 2 subs in the same room. Here's the setup:
Room 1 - pair of DQ-10's and one sub (music only) Room 2 - Pair of DQ-10's....AND....in-ceiling surround speakers...both of which utilize sub #2
So my question is, what would be a good powered sub recommendation for both arrangements, given that one is solely for music and the second sub serves as BOTH a music and a surround sub?
Re: Powered sub recommendation to match with DQ-10's
If you are only planning on using one sub at time things get much simpler. Any of the subs should be fine. Having an easy way to adjust crossover, level, phase, polarity and EQ is a big plus. If you do not have the ability to measure, like using REW, then you will have to do this by ear. That favors the SVS with its phone AP.?
?
There are many different ways to perform the integration. I can send some links if you’re interested.
Re: Powered sub recommendation to match with DQ-10's
I'm on the mid-low end of technical knowledge. But having said that I'm also not shooting for "sound nirvana." The decision to have the one sub do "double duty" is solely because I have a set of DQ-10's in my main room along with the in-ceiling surround speakers. Dq-10 are for dedicated music and surround is for, well, TV of course. I just don't want to have two subs in that room. So may plan is to incorporate a simple A/B switch so if it's music, the sub is drawing its signal from one amp, and if it's surround, I switch it and it gets its signal from my A/R receiver.
Re: Powered sub recommendation to match with DQ-10's
That's an interesting plan SpongeSound! All I can tell you is, based on MY experience integrating the subs to seemlessly blend into each system could be challenging.
in my situation, the room layout dictated that I position my sub in one particular corner of the room behind the component rack. This made set up challenging! Every little adjustment to the sub required that I get up from the listening position, walk across the room, make the adjustment on the back of the sub, then walk back to the listening position and evaluate. Rinse and repeat over and over again.?
The SVS iPhone app makes it extremely easy to integrate because every tweak or adjustment can be done in real time from the listening position. This makes a HUGE difference. Everything else being equal, I would choose the SVS every time because of ease of integration, but that's based on my system and my room configuration.?
