At last the truth about Dahlquist & Saul Marantz
From an EBay listing:
Of all the audio equipment designers in the past there are none more deservedly celebrated then Saul Marantz. Components such as the Marantz 10b tuner, 8b & 9 power amplifiers, 7c preamp, and a host of other classic products were all born out of the company that bore his name. While the audio-engineering talents of Saul Marantz are undeniable, perhaps his greatest attribute to the world of audio was his uncanny ability to recognize and help cultivated design talent in people. None of the aforementioned components would have been developed without his extremely talented staff which included the legendary Dick Sequerra and Sidney Smith. About 3 years after Saul Marantz sold his company to Superscope Inc, he discovered another great talent who was obsessed with designing the perfect speaker. The man by trade was an engineer in the aerospace-industry and had played a key role in the development of the lunar landing module. His name was Jon Dahlquist and after a quick meeting Marantz sensed his greatness and immediately formed a partnership with him. In 1972 the Dahlquist speaker corporation was born, although it wasnt until 1973 that they introduced their defining product, the DQ-10. |
