About the DQ28
The Dahlquist DQ-28 is a 3-way Phase Array loudspeaker system introduced in 1992, featuring a more modern design compared to earlier models like the DQ-10. It delivers very detailed audio with smooth midrange, tight and ample bass, and slightly restrained highs. Users praise its ability to reveal subtle recording details such as light foot tapping and banter. As a Dahlquist product, it inherits the brand's phased array technology for improved phase coherence and transparency. No longer manufactured, replacement parts like grille cloth, owner's manual, and tweeter are available. Original retail prices varied: $980/pair (1993), $799/pair (1994), $999/pair (Sep 1993), $849/pair (Dec 1993).
