and what do you think? legitimacy to the claims/build/expense, or total bullshit and incremental gains at best?

It will be awhile on comparison both are top models . I had them at different locations finally hauled back tonight . Build Quality excellent on both . Not bullshit both are very good. I guess the big question would be is the high cost worth the incremental gains, which is up to the individual. As far as these models compared to anything under 10k I can say it's worth the cost me for what they bring . Now is it worth 3x 10 k lol I have to say no

Yes Sire ..a DQX 1000 build in the year 1977 till 1983 , I am currently rebuilding it completely

Sad to say that I am old enough to remember them when they were new. :(

 

Ability to hold three tonearms was their selling point. At the time I couldn't afford one tonearm.

Today I received a pair of new tweeters from DaveA for my 1986 La Scalas. The new SMAHL v2 lenses and DE-120 drivers will replace the K-77M Ceramic (square magnet) tweeters that are currently in the speakers.

 

New tweeters

I had planned on painting the new lenses black, but they look so good that I'm reconsidering that.

I plan to run REW before and after installing the new tweeters to see what difference they make.

This evening I was ABCing the stock tweeters in my KP250 vs the DE120 on the Crites lens vs Dave A's S-MAHL.

And it was fun.

Without changing the caps for each different tweeter, the results would not let each tweeter sound like it could & should.

 

I can say that I like how smooth and detailed Dave's tweeters sound, including on the 250s. I have some L MAHL on the MCM1900.

I'm sure it was. I was curious how the Crites vs the SMAHL sounded. I currently have the SMAHL DE120 combo in my 79 CWs and was considering another set for my 75 LS.

I did not get this today, but actually last October.

But today is the first the TD 160 plated some hi quality music.

My tech and I did a ton of work, most unexpected due to a very dishonest seller. 😮

And some of the work was upgrades and some was for cosmetics.
