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?
I just could not get them sounding good in my listening room. I needed to tilt them almost at a 70 degree angle to get some decent bass. They were very placement critical compared to the smaller 2c’s. But you might not have this problem in your ro... 
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!

Replace a 0.5 mV Grado Reference Sonata 1 for a Dynavector-DV20X2-H 2.8 mV ???
@mattmiller I stand corrected. I should have stated any cartridge with more than 2 mv output will work just fine!

Bi-Wiring Apogee Acoustics Duetta Signature Series II Speakers
The EV speakers are more efficient than the Apogee. To get the same volume you will have to feed the Apogee with more power on the volume control! If they are not loud enough you will need a more powerful amp to drive them! 
where are Primare products manufactured?
If it is only labeled designed in Sweden I doubt it is manufactured there. If it was made in Sweden it would sure have that information on the label !
