Getting my pair of Dahlquist DQM-9s tomorrow via Fedex ground for the cost of shipping! I know the cones are shot, but decided not to go with Regnar for the time being. Will recone locally at Freeman-Tuell (http://freemantuell.com/), who have serviced dozens of pairs of monitors in our recording control rooms & studios (http://www.jingles.com/jam/jaminfo/facility.html)* for 30+ years. I seriously recommend them if you need any kind of speaker re-coning). :thumbsup:
Will probably re-cap the crossovers, but will examine the old ones and may simply source them myself as I have plenty of cap catalogs around.
Anyone got any general recommendations for power amping? I gather these are some hungry boys. F-me for selling my Mac75s!!
So, like the cobbler's children with no shoes, my home-monitor needs have always been much less demanding. I can safely say this is the finest pair of monitors I've ever "owned". They represent my return to "Hi Fidelity" after 15 years of satellite speakers, and will easily outstrip my old Tannoy-8s! My wife has already declared that these "giant things" are going upstairs man-cave! OK Fine! :0:
