General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

RE: "Saul Marantz and Carl Marchisotto"

I knew about Saul Marantz being involved, but I didn't know how much of a hand he had in the design. I'm going to have to Google Carl Marchisotto when I'm done posting. I'm not familiar with him.

I do recall HP helping Dahlquist "tweak" the speakers, and that causing quite a controversy. It certainly blurred the line between manufacturer and reviewer for some people. I'm betting the minor scandal helped sell both magazines and speakers.

Speaking of Saul Marantz, the best I ever heard my DQ-10s sound was with a Marantz 8B amp. I had been driving them for years with a TAS recommended SAE amp, and an ARC SP-3 etc. preamp. After my divorce, I got "back into" audio. I joined an audio club, and a guy (who I'm still friends with) lent me his 8B. I began to understand the term "jaw dropping" after that. I've been a tube amp guy (with the exception of my First Watt F1J) ever since.
