Any Large Acoustic Suspension Speakers Being Made?
I auditioned some Dunlavy SC-IVAs in the 90s. The sound was unlike anything I've heard before or since.
Was more like a video projector creating living sonic-images in the room.
The Dunlavys are a sealed box system. The front of the speaker is heavily felt damped (mids & tweets).
I'm also wondering about anything unusual about its crossover. I have to find out why these sounded so good!
The system: Audio Research VT-120 amp, ARC LS-2 pre, Theta DAC (pre-pro?), CEC Disk spinner, and Dunlavy wire. The room was about 25 * 25 with curtains on a glass wall and LPs on the rear wall. Power conditioning is unknown.
So I'm thinking it's either the acoustic suspension or a special crossover that made the difference.
Does anyone make large sealed box speakers anymore?
Seeing you've like the Dunlavy's. I can recommend the Wilson Alexia's as only they have wowed me away from the Duntech (Dunlavy) Sovereigns for a box speaker. But you'll need a big amp (100-200w) with big current for these, just like the Duntech/Dunlavy's do. http://www.stereophile.com/content/wilson-audio-specialties-alexia-loudspeaker#kjy3rhxPwUAlgi25.97 Cheers George . |
