Get rid of the Dunlavys?


I currently own a pair of Dunlavy SM-1s. I am using them with a Denon 3803. I am contemplating selling the SM-1s and getting into some B&W 805s. I listen to all types of music, but I really like female vocals and acoustic music. Just wanted to get some feedback. I know this is completely subjective, but it will be nice to get some other views. Thanks

For acoustic music reproduction along with female vocals, I would "think outside the box". Nothing does this music as well as planers or e-stats IMO.

Take a couple of cd's of your choice and go have a listen, try something by Jacintha as a test for great female vocal.

Well Unsound, acoustic music and female vocals are what led me to panels. I still own both pair of box speakers I owned before I bought my first pair of hy-brid speakers (Apogee Centaur Minors). While the Minors only have 26" ribbon and 6.5 inch cone for bass driver, they still had a magic with this kind of music that I found captivating, problem was..no deep bass so they were switched in and out of the system. This led to a much larger panel speaker system (Apogee Duetta Signatures)..now these DO BASS almost as deep as my 220lb. each boxes. So yes, I think panels do drums.

That said, would not matter much in regards to this post anyway because the Dunlavy or the B&W's above don't DO BASS any better than small panels can IMO.

I understand Unsound, but did you notice how I tried to cover my butt in the first post with: " Take a couple of cd's of your choice and go have a listen"..and "IMO". I did forget the humble part of the opinion.
