Welcome Dahlquist owners and enthusiasts. Let's share some ideas,
stories, tweaks, photos, and historical information. Whatever
information you have to help in the understanding and preservation of
these wonderful speakers. I look forward to a fun and meaningful
diologue.

Hi Everyone, I own the DQ20i (the i stands for Infinity, or so I've
been told). I have owned them for approximately 7 years and it is my
3rd pair of the DQ20i. (Had to sell the other ones unfortunately). I
pair them with Von Gaylord (Legend Audio) monoblock amps and preamp. I
don't have a source at this time but I have decided that I am going to
have a computer audio system. I'm not sure of the Dac I will purchase,
but am interested in Empirical Audio's offerings of the 12s. I just
love my speakers, there isn't much better out there unless you want to
spend much more money. Sandra

Welcome Sandra, I haven't had a chance to hear the 20 but look
forward to the opportunity. Hope you have fun here.

Welcome to the group, Sandra!

I've seen mentions of the DQ-20s in the past, but am unfamiliar with
the design. Could you perhaps tell more about your speakers and
system? I must admit that I'm quite fond of reading what others
think of different pieces of gear and how they arrived at a
preferred sound.

Sandra, how did you manage to find three pair of DQ20's. I rarely see
them on ebay and have never seen a pair in the Denver area. What do
they typically sell for?

Hi Sandra

glad to see another Washingtonian here-I'm on the "Wet"side in Monroe. I too fell in love with the DQ10 at Magnolia on Rooseveldt. I just couldn't afford them in the late seventies.Got back into hifi while I was back in MN for a couple years and the first thing I went after was a pair of DQ10's and built and rebuilt around them( rebuilt being the being the continual process).

I'm curious how do the 20's compare to the 10's-my understanding is that Marschiotti had much more to do with this design than Jon Dahlquist,and there is greater bass extension.

?

For me my main music choice is jazz and since the Xover rebuild the bass is terrific, Patricia Barber's "Nightclub" will rattle windows now a low listenable levels. Great to see a woman in these discussions, so rare to get the female perspective in what is mostly an "old boys club"

Hi guys, I lived in the Seattle area for a number of years before I
moved back to Spokane. It is wet in the wintertime, but the summers
are beautiful. I loved that area, I still miss it, but I'm here to
stay. It's been so long since I've heard the DQ10's that I honestly
can't remember what they sound like. All I remember is that they
really impressed me with their sound, that's why I bought the 20's.
The 20's have very impressive soundstaging, the speakers just
disappear (especially with a good amp). They are very detailed and you
really have to pair them with a good tube amp to sound their best.
They have excellent dynamics but some people think they are a little
bass shy. Personally, I don't like a lot of heavy bass, it overpowers
the rest of the music.
I want to have a computer based system, I think that it would be
really convenient. If I add a really good dac, it should sound great.
I like jazz, vocals, new age, the "older" country, some rock. What
does everybody have for their source? and amps, etc. I realize there
aren't too many females on the audio forums, that' too bad as I'm sure
most women like audio also. Sandra

Well, Sandra, we're very glad that you've decided to join our little
start-up group. You obviously have a great deal of experience and
knowledge to offer. For we who haven't yet had a chance to hear the
DQ-20s, your impressions are invaluable.

For sources, I use my computer occasionally using albums I've ripped
into the FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec) format. I do still have a
few MP3s on my HDs from back in the day and for those I use the now
fairly old MAD plug-in that is a tremendous sound improvement over
conventional MP3s although it is a bit more processor intensive. For
the most part, I use a Toshiba SD-4960 universal player to play
mostly CDs with a handful of DVD-As and SACDs thrown in for good
measure. When I desire more critical listening, I use an old, but
still excellent Sony CDP-X111ES CD player with black Memorex disks
and use the variable audio out to directly drive my amp (makes for a
much cleaner sound than going through a pre-amp first). For the
analog end, I have an unusual looking, but surprisingly good Sony PS-
X500 Biotracer (found to be superior to the Rega P3) with a Grado
Gold or Grado Black cartridge depending upon, again, whether I
desire to listen critically and upon the condition of the vinyl
(save my good cart for clean, undamaged LPs). I am in need of a good
phono pre, though, so digital finds much more use than analog at the
moment.

Something that surprises me is how many Washingtonians have
Dahlquists. I'm in Ellensburg, WA or Central Washington to match you
Western and Eastern Washingtonians and found my DQ-10s fairly
locally. It would appear that Magnolia Hi-Fi made for an excellent
Dahlquist dealer back in the day.
