What is the right amp? I have a pair of these & a pair of 905’s. What do I need to get the proper sound power wise?

Depending on how loud you need to listen, you could get away with 80 watts of known high quality sound like a Luxman 5L15 integrated amp
Really depends on your needs. Might be best to have this as a separate thread. State speakers, volume requirement, music type. Get recommendations.

Had a pair of DQ-12's. Great speakers. Female voice reproduction was some of the best I've heard. Actually teared up first time hearing Bonnie Raitt on them. Highs and Mids excellent bass shy but what's there is accurate. Good soundstage. Wife never forgave me for selling them. She was right, never should have. Ran them with a new NAD 22 watt receiver. Very good combo.

Love my DQ-20's. Agree with above - voice reproduction is spooky good. Treble is fantastic without being fatiguing. The sense of openness is amazing. Bass on the 20's is flat to the upper 30's, so pretty solid with the Advent woofer. I usually don't bother with turning on my sub.

Have had dqm 9, 9c, 905. Dq 10, 20, 28 and another that escapes me now.
Dq 10 when combined with a nice subwoofer , speakers positioned well, some real magic can happen - especially with vocals, subwoofer mandatory for depth.
Dq 28, ok for an office, small room , needs low end help though
Dq 20, spacious sound and very smooth. Sound great, but do nothing amazing inmho. Would have kept them, but I have other rear reflection speakers that I prefer.
Dqm 9c, fun detailed and musical. Only gave them up because they are a bit too small for my room.
905 - very nice looking and love the wood accent on the grill, but I found them to be lackluster in my setting, but better than most speakers of that size offered locally.
Dqm9, accurate, not bloated, balanced. No fatigue. Outstanding build quality, absolutely superior to comparable monitors of similair size / specs that I have heard such as hpm100, L100, 690, C2. I have the veneer offering now, but wish I still had the Nextell version I sold years ago. There is a difference ; not huge , but noticeable.
YMMV of course
