Does It Make Sense to Purchase Dunlavy Speakers


Audio-Video Logic has purchased the complete stock of Dunlavy speakers and is selling them at very attractive prices. Dunlavy is no longer in business and I'm concerned about repairs if needed. Dunlavy drivers are individually matched, ane then pairs are matched for the two speakers, finally the crossovers are hand tweaked for final matching. Would appear on the surface that if a driver goes bad the "match" is gone forever. Comments??

I talked to the guys at AVL and was told the reason Dunlavy closed shop was not for lack of $. The new holding company did not see the profit or sales they wanted. As for build quality I will let you all know next week when the III.A's I bought arrive. Also, AVL will back the drivers for one year. Getting them matched is a different story. I hope I never have to find out. They may cost a little more than used, but if you buy used you still do not get a warranty as well as abuse issues. Just food for thought.
Just wanted to update my earlier post. I received my sciii.a's yesterday. All I can say is WOW. Build quality was fine. Sound was well, Dunlavy. I also spoke to AVL about them purchasing "slapped together" product. The answer was that they only bought pre-assembled A stock. I can say I am not dissapointed. I hope this helps.
