Dahlquist DQM-5

[JonS98038]

I have a pair of DQM-9's and just picked up a pair of DQM-5's. I can't find much info on the 5's like how many watts they can handle. Can anyone help?

I waiting for my Sansui G-9000 to be done getting refreshed and can't wait to hear them all together!

Speaker power ratings are pretty much meaningless because there's no standard for them. Your Sansui should be fine with them. Just use some common sense - if you're playing them loud and something doesn't sound right, turn them down right away. In fact, since your Sansui has power meters, take a look at them when you're listening at a comfortable level. I think you'll find that you're using a lot less power than you'd expect.

I own DQM-5's. (I also recently added a pair of m907's and some m903's.) All of which I love. My DQM-5's I have had since new and I think they sound great. I believe their top end is 150w but I will check. I think I have original paperwork in a file at work. I will look to see what it says.

A review says the 1A fuses pop with about 100 watts give or take depending on how long that wattage has been going to the speaker. Seems the 150 is a reasonable number.

Wouldn't worry about it.

Wow thank you very much for the information . I've always appreciated music out of quality products. My sansui was a great find and I couldn't believe it worked when I got it home. I was on a job and my customer had it just sitting outside. I got it free.I checked it all out and it worked. I saw no damaged at all on the inside. Anyway once it's finished getting cleaned up fully I look forward to hearing these sets together. I'll update later! So far on my 10 year old pioneer they sound great!
