I've had 9500's and HDC's and I sold off the DD's and kept the AQ's. Hard to beat for the $$$ and I don't chase numbers, so I couldn't justify the price difference.there u go u got all u need to know about AQ mr team doa is in the room and he loves his aq
Never got to do a drop in test, but I've seen/heard where DD's gained around 1dB on the meter, but I've also seen the opposite where the AQ's were louder. For a daily set up it won't make a diff. I know the AQ's will take a ton of abuse daily.
