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.

Another vote for the Dunlavys. I've also had the SC-IV for a good many years. To my ears, every Thiel I've heard has had too much treble emphasis.
The Dunlavys are in a class of there own.
I own 3 sc1/av signatures and also a pair of Duntech
Marguis purchased in 89 while Dunlavy was with Duntech.
All fantastic speakers but very hard to find.
Good luck
I've got SC-IIIs, as well as a center channel (which I'm not using). McIntosh system and generic $.50/foot speaker wire. It's unbelievable. Sure, I rent a room in a warehouse practically just to use for listening to these, but it's worth it. Especially because they were free :)

I need grilles, though. and bases. Currently using those mooshy rubbery donut-like feet. Any leads on grilles would really be appreciated.
