Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

The Dahlquist tweeter taught me a lesson

A lesson regarding familiarity. In the late 1980s I joined an audio club, and had owned the DQ-10s for maybe ten years. A member was going on vacation for a couple of weeks, and offered me his Vandersteen 2C speakers to use while he was gone.

After listening to them for a couple of weeks, I put the DQ-10s back in the system because it was time for the Vandersteens to return home. I practically ran to the Dahlquist tweeter controls to turn them down as far as possible. Prior to that, I had grown accustomed to the rather bright piezos, and only really took notice of them after the comparison to the Vandersteens.
