Miss my Dunlavy Speakers, Were to go...


I had a pair of Dunlavy SC-1 speakers several years ago, and I miss them. They were so accurate, detailed (but never bright), and totally Disappeared into a room with hardwood floors and wood paneling that was only 10x10. I loved those speakers and miss them.

Short of finding a pair used were should I turn? My room is a little better, but not much. I listen fairly close. I have found Dynaudio just a bit dry for me. They have had most of what the Dunlavys offered, but just a little lean. I found Totem's Arro, Mite, and DC to be great, but not quit as accurate. They sing like the dickens and almost disappear, but they lacked a bit of the precision.

I have some Ohm that are still breaking in, but I'm having trouble getting used to their presentation. They sound a little laid back to me, and while I love the boxless sound they produce, it comes at the price of accuracy.

Anyway, these are just my MHO of these speakers and I know every person, room and system is different. I'm not trying to bash any of the above speakers. They all are really nice. I'm just to express where I stand, and trying to get a little guidance from some Dunlavy lovers out there.

Aside from any suggestions I may be moving onto Gallo 3.1s next.

I have the MicroWalsh Talls. I am going to give them some more time and compare them head to head with my other choice/s before I form a complete opinion

My budget is about 2K. The Thiels are interesting. I don't know much about them, but I do suspect that the Dunlavy being Phase aligned had a lot to do with what I liked about them. I've heard Thiels can be analytical. I would also guess anything larger than the 1.6 would overwhelm my room and listening position. Anyone have experience with the 1.6.

What about a set of small Martin Logans, the Source or the Purity?
