Full-Range to Monitors
Over the years I have owned many full range and many monitors. I prefer monitors. They just seem to disappear, where floor-standers never did. It also depends on what monitor is being used. I prefer LS3/5A type monitors. Set em and forget em!!

Help please
It sounds like something is out of phase. Reverse the speaker leads on one speaker and see if that helps!

Amp and preamp for dq10s
Many moons ago when I had the DQ 10’s, I used a 200 watt Threshold mos-fet amp. It was an excellent combination. You should check out Van Alstine, they are mos-fet amps!  https://avahifi.com/collections/solid-state-power-amplifiers 
Is the 2.5 way speaker the ideal home speaker?
I would have to say that the 2.5 way speaker is the least common of speakers. I have owned a 2.5 way Spendor and it was real nice. There is only one 2.5 way Spendor that is still in their line.http://store.acousticsounds.com/d/94325/Spendor-Spendo...

Why do I see more Vandersteen model 3s vs model 2s for sale?
Many moons ago I upgraded the 2ce to the 3a ( both non signatures) and I preferred the smaller 2ce. I just never enjoyed the 3a and sold them after about a year.  If you like the 2c's I think the signatures would be a better choice!

Why have the prices of Marantz and Sansui speakers have gone up so much? Whyyyy???
It must be a nostalgia kind of thing. People like vintage gear no matter how crappy it sounds. Take a look at some of the prices for those vintage 70's receivers and it will make you laugh at what people want for them!
