Does It Make Sense to Purchase Dunlavy Speakers

Dunlavy quality has always been very high...find a good deal...go for it..

At these prices you could afford great speakers for a second system... I had the SC-IV for 18 months and SC-V for 2 years and loved them both.

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.

The CC-2 center channel speaker I ordered has arrived and it is wonderful. The workmanship appears top notch and it beautifully mates with my SC-4as. As usual this Dunlavy speaker would have been reasonably priced at full list. It's a crime that this company managed its engineering activities so well and had no concept about effective marketing.

Thanks for all the responses to my original posting above. I've done some serious investigating on my own since the posting and found the following (from an ultra reliable source):

1. Each driver used in a Dunlavy speaker is individually tested to meet strict performance criteria. Individual drivers are matched in pairs for each speaker, and matched in fours for each speaker pair.
3. Individual crossovers are partially assembled for testing and then matched with a speaker for final testing. Crossover components are then individually adjusted (based on measurements of the speaker in an anechoic chamber) by a technician until the desired performance criteria are met.
5. Speakers are built and tested in pairs; each pair is matched within very narrow limits.

What does all this mean? It means each pair of speakers leaves Dunlavy perfect but physically and schematically different from each other. Plugging in a new driver direct from a outside supplier is going to undo everything Dunlavy worked so hard to accomplish. Is this worth 50% off to me? Can't make up my mind, but will shortly as I was about to purchase Vandersteen 2CE Sigs with VSM surrounds.

PS- I have the highest regard for Audio Video Logic. They provide us "nuts" with some very fine equipment at tremendous savings. Just think this is not one of those times. Thanks again guys!
