Dahlquist DQ10

New user, first post. I don't consider myself an audiophile...haha.  I have the opportunity to purchase a set of DQ 10's @ $375 for the pair.  Been on the 'Google' researching but figured I'd just get some new info here.  Is this a good deal?  They have been re-foamed but no tweaking of the electronics.  Seller says they have not been used much.  Will my Yamaha RX V677  7.1 SS receiver have sufficient power for these if used in 2 channel mode?  I find conflicting opinions about this.  I remember these when they first came out in the 70's and the reviews were fantastic.  Just wonder if they still compare to today's speakers.  Thanks!

Hey!
I recently bought a pair of Dahlquist DQ 10 and realized that I had never heard such a wonderful sound before. 44 years old but plays the shirt of the many newly produced speakers today.
fifteen thousand kronor ended the bill with the renovation of Woofer and various capacitors.
But that's almost a ridiculous amount of money in the Hifi world.

They have a way of making you feel that the performers are in the room with you, but of course like any other speaker they have their shortfalls. Still enjoyable. I owned the DQ 20s for a few years and enjoyed them.

Yes exactly it is roxy 54 :) such a fantastic presence.
I haven't found any "deficiency" yet ...
DQ10 is paired with Dynaudio 6 subwoofer which has advanced DSP technology and helps with the heaviest part.
It will be a very nice collaboration between old and young :) "Feels like I'm in love again"
