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

My sub is self powered so I should be alright there... Since my reciever is 100x7 and there is no way Ill ever use all 7 channels even for surround sound... Can I steal 2 channels and hook them both up to the dq10s? So each one would effectively have 200 watts going to it? Also how many ohms are dq-10s?
Thanks

One other thing... Is a mirrored set really that much better? Is it worth the money to have a mirrored set is what Im asking. And should I really replace that original tweeter? And if so with what? And is it a big job to do so...
Thanks

Warren- What would you suggest for front speakers then? The ones Im looking at are mirrored and have had the crossovers upgraded - all by regner. But what would you suggest instead of these speakers? My reciever is a pioneer elite vsx-45tx so each channel gets 100 watts...

the ones im buying have been refoamed by regner already. Why should I replace the mid-tweets?
But still, will these speakers be a good match to the reciever I have and for the use Ill be using them for...?
