Dahlquist DQ-10s for home theater and music?

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
Jeff

Anyone?

I, too, have owned the DQ 10s for years. I loved them, but they're problematic. I don't think it's worth all this to resurrect the dead. They have seen their day. Weak highs, no bass, though, midrange to die for. Need tons of power and they are bulky looking. You should get them phased arrayed, and have microfarrit capacitors installed if you're going to go with them. That's what I had done to mine. Huge difference back then, but like I said, I'd move on..there's much better for less $$ peace, warren

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.
