Dunlavy SC IV Speaker- Any Good???


Anyone own these ?

I realize the company is now Defunct

and was Colorado based. 

At 200 lbs each and 6 feet tall they

will not be missed in a room.

But they actually weigh the same as 

my last speakers but with only one third  the footprint.

Okay the little woman may see it as a lateral

move but...

Sorry the audition didn't pan out, Chorus.  But Dunlavys are worth keeping an eye out for in the future.  Three or four years ago I had the good fortunate to pick up some Duntech PCL 25 monitors, and they were wonderful, particularly for piano and voice.  But the Dunlavy SC II floorstanders that replaced them are significantly better, particularly in terms of sound stage, hall ambiance, and timbre.  String quartets, massed strings, voice, and piano are much more life-like than with the Duntech monitors.  They're also easy to drive and very clear at low volumes.  Would love to listen to some of the bigger Duntechs or Dunlavys, particularly with some large scale classical works.  But baroque opera and Renaissance polyphony are wonderful on my SC IIs, and the scale is also convincing with Mahler and Strauss.  There's an interview in which Dunlavy describes the work he did with the Colorado Symphony, and it seems to have paid off in his speaker designs.
