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??

Yeah I personally was fond for the value driven excellent little SC1AV's myself! And while I hate to see the company dissapear entirely, I would also be a bit concerened about buying the speakers used anymore, as you don't know what you'd possibly end up with I think.
I did a factory tour of Dunlavy some time back, and they did pick only drivers that fell within their performance specs. I don't know how much different the sound would be using drivers that may or may not meet those criterion. Hummmmmm....
In another thought, I think some of the Dynaudio Diappolito designs would make more sense, and should be sonically competitive at the very least. And that company is still in business.
