Dahlquist DQ-10s for home theater and music?

I just bought a pioneer elite vsx-45tx... Now Im trying to think up speakers that wont break the bank. When I was a little kid my dad had/has 2 paid of dq-10s (now theyre sitting in storage needing upgrading and woofers fixed). I looooved the sound these speakers made. My worry is if these speakers will still be usable today mated with a subwoofer center channel and rear speakers for watching a lot of movies, and for listening to a wide variety of music (not country and not classical). Can anyone tell me, am I barking up the wrong tree?
Thanks

Jeff,
I had a pair of the DQ-10's myself. Great speakers for sure. I can't think of any reason why these wouldn't go well with a surround system. The only thing I didn't really like about the DQ-10's is that they required a great deal of power to drive at higher listening levels. The DQ-10's didn't go real deep in the bass department so a subwoofer is a good idea. Since the DQ's need so much power, you might want to explore a subwoofer that is self powered so your amp won't have to work too hard.
