Help My friend wants to go with some DQ-10s

which were probably good back in the days of cheesy disco...but these things sound like a wet towel has been placed over them...and the bass...well..it is slower than a broken down bus...and the dealer is asking $500 for the pair! To be fair, they image pretty good...but so does every other decent speaker nowadays...this is his first attempt at entering the world of hifi...and as a friend...think he can do much better...I have tried to enlighten him...but he is mystified my the Dq-10 heritage...and a smooth sales rep...any thoughts on persuading him to a modern design?

Hello,

The DQ-10's were my first speakers and you really need some current and watts to drive them. There were several mod's available to improve the crossovers and that did help. Also, you can run them with a sub to capture some of the lost bass. Not a bad speaker, especially if they have had the mod's done to them. I enjoyed them for many years.
