Dahlquist DQ-10s...

...were my favorite because they ushered me into high end audio.

The Dahlquists sounded like nothing else I had heard at the time and I auditioned a lot of speakers. They sounded like real, live music playing with sound coming from in-between, around and behind the speakers. I thought they were amazing.

That was my second audio system in the late 1970s - I used Dahlquist subwoofers, their electronic crossover and bi-amped them. Had a Kenwood KD-500 turntable, Black Widow arm and ADC XLMII cartridge and had a dedicated music room that was a detached cinder-block garage converted to a family room.

My first sytem out of college in the earlier 1970s was a Kenwood Quadraphonic receiver, Infinity speakers on the front and KLH speakers ont he rear with a Dual turntable/record changer.

I was single and living in the Belmont Shores part of Long Beach about 3 blocks from the ocean. Ahhh, the good old days.

Today, although I still have a big system, my 160GB iPod would be my favorite, because I can take all my favorite music everywhere I go now.
