Dunlavy SC VI?


I'M CONSIDERING PURCHASING A PAIR OF DUNLAVY VI'S. I'VE READ THE REVEIWS, BUT WOULD LIKE TO HEAR FROM OWNERS.
WOULD THESE BE CANDIDATES IN A TUBE SYSTEM? IN A ROOM WITH 10' CEILING, AND WALLS 17X35, WILL THESE WORK ON THE SHORT WALL? I LISTEN AT LOW TO MODERATE LEVELS. WOULD THIS BE A GOOD FIT?
PLEASE LET ME KNOW YOUR OPINIONS ON THESE SPEAKERS. I'M JUST GETTING BACK INTO AUDIO, AND NEED ALL THE HELP I CAN GET!
THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!

My experience is not as extensive as most of the previous posters. I had a good friend with SC IV's (balanced tube pre into 4 identical 200 watt ss mono blocks). Dunlavy's recommended using the long wall with some absorbent room treatment behind the listener. The SCVI's offer prodigous bass. That one wall is almost double the dimensions of the other might provide some problems there. On the other hand the well seperated dual woofers might help even things out some. TAS's Robert E. Greene has suggested that Dunlavy's SC's seem to work particularly well with the TacT room correction gear. John Dunlavy was admirer of some of the new digital technology and had plans to use digital amps and cross-overs in his next statement speaker, alas, it never came to be. IMHO, great speakers, I wish you the best of luck.
Enjoy! I don't have a manual, but I do have some print outs from the old Dunalvy web site. If you stop shouting, I'd be happy to answer any questions that might be answered based upon that information. The information is pretty detailed, especially regarding room set up. I had the opportunity to have a very nice conversation with Mr.Dunalvy and he was very upfront on a lot of his opinions, a real straight shooter. Again, enjoy!
