About the DQ10
The Dahlquist DQ-10, introduced in 1972, is a pioneering 5-way dynamic loudspeaker featuring a phased array configuration with drivers mounted on minimal baffles to minimize diffraction and incorporate time-delay correction. It combines a sealed box bass enclosure with dipole mid-high frequency drivers, delivering accurate reproduction inspired by electrostatic speakers like the Quad ESL-57. Known for musicality, realistic soundstage, detailed highs, and punchy mid-bass, it requires substantial amplifier power for optimal performance. Common maintenance includes recapping crossovers, foam surround replacement, and super tweeter modifications. No longer manufactured.
