How do Dunlavys compared to new stuff?

I attended a Stereophile show in the 90s and the Dunlavy SC-IV was my favorite. I'm considering new speakers (thanks for the help on previous threads) and wondering if in 15 years newer designs have left them behind. How would these compare to similar designs/cost speakers of today?

There are some IIIs for sale, how do they compare to the IV? How much would IVs cost do you think?

Thanks,
Jim

I had a pair of sc III's driven by cary slam 100 monoblocks;these speakers were the best I had owned at that time.
I would think the difference in the 3's compared to 4's or 5's would be in the bass response due to the 4's and 5's having larger woofers than the 3's.
How large is your room and what electronics would be driving these speakers?
Either way I think you will not be disappointed as I think they still compete with speakers are made today.
