Now that I own a pair of reQuests, I'm getting ready to 'retire' my beloved Dahlquist DQ10's. I don't see myself ever... ever, selling them, but there's only room for one pair, and the ML's won out.
I'm wondering if any of you guys have recommendations on how to store speakers for the long(er) term. Does the method of storage make a difference if the drivers are dynamic (cone) or ESL panels? I presume it make sense to keep 'em in a lower temperature environment such as a basement, rather than in a hot attic, yes?
I was thinking that I would place the DQ10's in one of those heavy-duty contractor trash bags, zip tie it on top, then put 'em into the original boxes, which I still have. But I'm wondering if I ought not to put in some desiccant gel, and if so, where would I find a package large enough for the speakers?
Just looking for pointers to help make sure when I open the package again that everything will be the way it's supposed to be.
Thanks in advance!
