Description

On a very tight budget and wondering where my money can best be spent next. I love the Dahlquists but I know they need some real power to do their best. I'd like to find a reciever with pre-amp outs and use a good power amp to drive them. A sub would be nice as well. I listen pretty much exclusivly to CDs, mostly rock and some jazz. The biggest limiting factor I think is the fact that all this is in a corner of a room about 10'x12'.

what sub did you add?

bigjoe

wow, great system for 17yrs old, i owned dq10's & they sounded ok by themselves but after i added the matching dq sub & xover they really took on a new life, you should be able to pick up the sub for 200$ or less & the passive xover for well under 100$

BTW, if your tweets dont have fuse protection you might wanna think about adding a fuse to them,regnar-dahlquist wants 100$ each for the tweets.
