DC250-8 10" Classic Woofer

Nice replacement woofer for vintage 2 and 3 way speaker cabinets. Best match I could find until I get around to getting the actual speakers I need. Nothing fancy about it, decent specs and a spot on replacement if you are not into refoaming speakers, fills out the sound nicely. Great price point/value speaker. I may just end up keeping these much longer than I intended.

Replaced the original speakers in my Advent Legacy 2’s with these just to see the results. First thing I noticed is the speaker cones are very stiff which results in a tight sound with little to no depth in the bass. They sound great, but I wasn’t getting the low end response and depth I was hoping for initially. I now have between 30-40 hours on them and I am just now noticing them opening up and the bass is deeper and has more of the low end I was hoping for. I played a lot of music with a decent amount of bass such as Lofi, EDM, rap to get the cones moving and loosening up. These speakers are paired with a vintage Pioneer SX-450 receiver along with a Dual turntable and a Wiim streamer mostly set up to play classic rock and classic metal. At this time with the speakers breaking in, they are now getting to where I was hoping they would be with more depth and punch in the low end and I expect they will only get better with more time. Overall, I would say these are excellent speakers, but don’t expect miracles out of the box. You will be rewarded with patience during the break-in period and they start to open up a bit.

5.5 out of 5 After due research, selected these a "replacements" for my vintage Dynaco A-25s. The DC250-8 exceeded my expectations in every way. Yes, I know it's tenuous to quantify something like a decades-gone listening experience, but I don't believe they ever sounded better . . . possibly better than ever. Very clean and solid performance with an excellent low-end profile that is, as-promised, spot-on for use in a ported system. I really can't imagine anything else beating these for price/value. In MY case, for a modest sum, they've more than breathed new life into trusted friends . . . they've "evolved" into something beyond what I would have imagined. One thing: for the A-25 I had to modify (slightly enlarge) the cabinet hole . . . WELL worth the effort. Oh, and kudos to Dayton Audio for delivering everything they said and more.

現在３wayを設計中。箱を開けて本体とご対面したときに感じたのは「コイツいい面構えしてんな。」その佇まいからいい仕事しそうな予感がした。そもそもコイツを選んだ理由はそのスペックデータが25cmの枠を超えているからで、ホントかいな？と思うと同時にこの価格なら騙されてもいいと割り切れての購入だ。後はエンクロージャーと電気的な工夫で何とかなると自己暗示をかけている。友人と設計しながら、テストを繰り返している所だが今のところ期待を裏切る様子はない。フロントのショートホーンに仕上げる予定である。これから広いリビングのある家に引っ越すのでそこで活躍することを願っている。

My 1980 Boston Acoutics A-100s have lived in a closet since the woofers were blown in about 2000 (the second set or woofers - and, somehow, my hearing is fine). I have 2 premium surround systems but became curious what that good old system was like (sadly, the companion Pioneer SA-7700 is probably part of a toy somewhere - that was a great amp). These woofers deliver with good, hard rock stereo sources: Led Zeppelin, Van Halen, Pink Floyd, ZZ Top. You get the idea. They crank with clarity. A deal at the price.
