    Hey Steve, those Dahlquist DQ10's are great. I assume they are yours and not copied from the net. The weak point is the piezo tweeter and a popular mod was to replace it and the next tweeter in line with something better so it becomes a 4 instead of a 5-way speaker. Enjoy.

    The TD150s I've seen are more than the others, I still see them at c. £100 whereas it's hard to find a TD150II under £150 or more.

    They have a certain functional look about them. The Lloyds of London of speakers if you like.

    The Dalquist was a decent sounding speaker from what I recall of hearing it a couple of times years ago. Interesting choice of drive units, the bass driver being from The Advent Loudspeaker.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    I'm not sure I can say anything polite about those .
