Dunlavy SC IVa or B&W 802

Sorry, i forgot to say you could also look at the B&W 803's that would also sound quite nice with your amps..
The Dunlavy's though for the money will be hard to beat..
Good luck,
Dave

These speakers require a large room to be effectively setup. Preferably on the long wall. You need at least 10'++ of separation distance for these speakers. Plus some room from the side walls.

Even though your amp will drive them, the SC-IVa's will not reach their full potential on that kind of power. As with any speaker, large amps always bring out the best in dynamics.

Also, since Dunlavy is out of business, be careful if you should need replacement drivers. May be very difficult to find.

Badam, The vifa speakers in Dunlavy's can be replaced and closely matched up.. They are several places that sell them in U.S. and are made in Denmark.. Just enter vifa speaker under Yahoo and you will find quite a few.. There is some dealers that could also test them to match very close to any bad or defective woofer you may have in future.. And yes the speakers to sound right do require some room .. They should also be placed at least 3 ft. from back walls.. Mr. Dunlavy said a room of approximately 14x14(15x15) and up for this model.. They will sound even more impressive with more power also, but the Musical Fidelity 3.2's will still sound pretty nice with them.. I have heard these speakers run fine with fairly low amounts of power.. It will not take alot to start driving Dunlavy's , but about 175 to 200 wpc is great.. The B&W will require more power for them to sound really good.. The Musical Fidelity amps would not be a good match for them at all i believe..Like i said before though i think the B&W 803's would be a good match or you could Consider the Dunlavy Athena's or Cantata's which would take up less room then the SC-IVa's..
I don't know your room size , so just trying to cover all possible options with the two types of speakers your interested in..
Dave

the room, or rooms, that I have is 500-600sf of living and dinning together, open plan with vaulted ceiling in the living room where my system is.
thanks

Badman, With the type of room your describing the Dunlavy's should sound awesome.. You might want to later consider more power though do to size of room, but for now the small monos will do fine. Just think of it as a upgrade later to make the Dunlavy sound even more impressive..
Good Luck,
Dave
