About the DQ20
The Dahlquist DQ-20 is a vintage floorstanding loudspeaker that represents an important chapter in speaker design history. It features a 3-way acoustic suspension design with fewer, higher-quality drivers compared to its predecessor, the DQ-10. The speaker is known for its exceptional midrange clarity, excellent rhythm and pace, and articulate bass response. Users consistently praise its neutral tonal balance and ability to present vocals with great presence. The DQ-20 requires adequate amplifier power to reach its best performance due to moderate efficiency. It has been highly regarded by audiophiles as a value proposition, with one reviewer noting it is "a steal" at current market prices. Replacement parts and drivers remain available through successor companies founded by former Dahlquist personnel.
