Dunlavy SC VI's...

I've owned these speakers for almost 2 years now. To say I'm happy with them, would be a major understatement.
I guess going from solid state to tubes, along with the changing out of the Klipschorns for the SC VI's, was alot to process. I still love my K-horns, and won't part with them. They have a unique sound.
The Dunlavys just seem to do "everything".
I'd love to hear the opinions of other Dunlavy owners. Has anyone made any modifications?
If anyone has the original manual for the SC-VI's, I sure would appreciate a copy.
Thanks for looking... Enjoy!!!

Jim, from what I know of the DAL speakers, the VI, V and IV are very similar except for bass response. Therefore I'll suggest doing a search with all three to add to your information base.

Good luck and have fun.

I always felt Mr. Dunlavy recommended long wall placement to keep the speakers as far from sidewalls as possible in an average living room. Also, he apparently didn't mind the bass loading of having the listener's head so close to a wall as most set ups with this layout would require.

I had a discussion on another post regarding the dispersion characteristics of the Dunlavy designs but my position is based on in-room observations. I've been in six different homes with Duntech/DAL speakers and the wider rooms always produced better clarity and soundstaging. But I never heard a system that sounded good when my head was adjacent to the rear wall. My conclusion is therefore that wider rectangular rooms which still allow adequate distance from sidewalls will work better with any Dunlavy speaker that long, narrow rooms which may force long wall placement. One person's opinion.

I will also echo Jadem6's comments that Dunlavy speakers are very placement sensitive but the rewards of careful set up be worthwhile.
