Does It Make Sense to Purchase Dunlavy Speakers

As far as i know, Dunlavy uses commercially available units. Unlike some manufacturers who buy mass produced drivers and then hand tweak them, no "customization" or further modifications are done to the drivers in the Dunlavy models. As such, one should be able to order replacements or spares from such sources as Madisound, etc...

My main concern about this situation though is that the speakers may have been "slapped together" using whatever parts that they still had laying around just to get the stuff out of the door and make whatever profit they could. This might mean mismatched drivers, no "hand tweaking", less than optimum construction, etc... These are strictly guesses though, so take them with a grain of salt... Sean

From what i was able to find out, the individual drivers for each Dunlavy speaker system are matched to within a .25 dB tolerance. That is a LOT tighter than the 1 dB that was previously posted. As such, i have to commend ( a little too late ) Dunlavy for being so picky about their products. On the other hand, this would make it near impossible to find a suitable set of replacement drivers should you ever need them. At 50% off of list price, these truly are a great buy. That is, so long as you don't need replacement drivers, etc... Sean

Pdclark: While your story doesn't really have the type of ending that i'm sure that you were looking for, it's good to know that some companies still take care of their customers and stand behind the products that they sell. Sean
