Dahlquist DQ-10 loudspeaker Specifications

The Dalhquist DQ-10 loudspeaker has not as yet been formally submitted for review. (The designer tells us he is still working on the low end.) We auditioned a pair at the one local dealer we could find who had the DQ-10s on demo, and were immensely impressed. Obviously, Jon Dahlquist is on to something that other speaker designers have been overlooking, for, despite the multiplicity of driver speakers in the system, the DQ-10 <I>sounds</I> like one big speaker. There is no awareness of crossovers or separate drivers (except at the low end, about which more subsequently), and the overall sound has a degree of focus and coherence that is surpassed only by the <A HREF="http://www.stereophile.com/artdudleylistening/706listening/">Quad full-range electrostatic</A>, which don't go as low at the bottom or as far out at the top.

Hello, this is going to be my first good sound system. I'm currently looking at two possible routes - either getting a pair of active/powered speakers or getting an amp + speakers.

For the first option, I'm looking at the Audioengine 5 speakers which seem to have excellent reviews. For the second option I'm looking at Pioneer Elite A35r + Polk Audio Monitor 50 or Sony SSF-5/6/7000 floorstanding speakers.

I want to build a system revolving around my vinyl collection and so that I can finally enjoy the records i've begun to accumulate over the past year and a half.
What I have: A Rega P1 and 2 crates full of records.

What I need: a phono preamp to match the MM cartridge, power amp, preamp, integrated? (?)--many options--and of course, some loudspeakers.

Suggestions welcome! I will be replacing my Arcam Alpha 10 with another (yet identified) integrated amp. I rather trade out my Arcam than my B & W 804's. I am looking for any suggestions for what I seek below. Fast and deliberate bass, spacing between the instruments, layers to the voice and subtle nuances that may have been undetected by my current system. Additionally, I would like to enjoy these sonic qualities with out the need to play at very loud volumes. Please be sure, I am taking suggestions for auditions.

Hi,

I have a good Sony portable CD player which I am using now with Sennheiser CX-300 canal phones. Excellent for the price. I want to upgrade to the much more expensive Shures. I am sure you can help me with these questions!

1. Is it better to spend more, ie. SE530 over 410/310?
2. Does adding a headphone amp to any of the Shures above result in better sound? Or is the amp unnecessary (the Shures do not require a high output, right?)
3. With a headphone amp (if I go this way, I was thinking Musical Fidelity), is it not better to buy a proper headphone?
