Dahlquist DQ-10s for home theater and music?

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...

Ok, My first advice would be to take Elgordo up on his offer, you can't beat free advice from someone who knows this old speaker very well. I used to own a pair years ago, If I recall..these speakers are not setup for bi-amp in stock form. I would recone both woofers and make or buy a good set of stands, the stock stands are not very good but would be easy to copy in a much more sturdy look a like. The DQ-10's have a left and a right speaker and need to be setup as such. These speakers image very well and were a true early highend design that should sound very good even by todays standards. I see them here on audiogon from time to time for around $500 if I recall.

But does anyone else use these speakers in a home theater setup? I watch a lot of movies....
Thanks

Try this place for replacement mid-tweets for the DQ-10, they will also refoam the woofer for not to much money if you think you can't do the job.

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...?
