Does It Make Sense to Purchase Dunlavy Speakers

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

Does anyone knows where I can buy the Dunlavy TSW-V's. AVL had bought the last three and they say they were gone in two weeks!! I am desperate!! Any one wants to sell?????

Like bzinvegas I ordered the CC-2 from AVL as well, but with different results. The speaker arrived from via UPS double boxed with no physical damage to either box. Once removed, however, I noticed a rattle coming from inside the speaker. I called AVL and they asked me to remove one of the drivers to see if I could find the problem. I did and found 2 voice coils broken from the main board. After carefully examining the rest of the speaker I found several 2 – 3 inch gouges as well as numerous nicks that were touched up with what appeared to be a black magic marker.

I paid for a new unit.

I phoned AVL again and explained that I was initially leery of spending money on a manufacturer that was out of business, and because of the condition of the speaker I have decided to forgo a replacement and would like to ship it back.

AVL had no problem with my decision, understood my concerns and will credit me back the purchase price plus return shipping. I’ve dealt with them in the past, they appear to be good people and I would have no trouble dealing with them again in the future.

Good luck to others.

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

When John last failed, I bought a pair of Black Knights and found them exceptional. Later I got back into horns and had an easy time selling the BKs.
