Need Info Re. Duntech Home Cinema System 100

No disrespect intended... Mr. John Dunlavy. I'm really interested to find out if these were his design or came after hid departure.

Received a response from Duntech, but when asked the purpose of my inquiry received no further correspondence. Either I have the rarest speakers in the world, or I've been duped. AARRGGHHH!!!

Wanted to finally finish this thread. After over two years I was finally contacted by the man responsible for these speakers coming into my possession.

Turns out that the Home Cinema Series 100 was a prototype made by Jack Davis of Duntech. It never went into full production due to board level disagreement. This set was brought to the US for the CES show in late 1995, early 1996, which Duntech pulled out of at the last minute.

I am the owner of a virtually "one off" set of Duntech speakers and have probably the only set to ever land in North America. Pretty frikkin neat. MSRP at the time was $7676 US for the set. I have the original spec sheets and the press release of these awesome things that never came to be.

I've decided to sell the speakers to avoid packing them yet again for another move. Anyone interested can locate them on eBay by searching Duntech.

I ended up deciding to keep the speakers and have been using the small TH-33s in my recording studio as monitors. They are so accurate I hate the way I sound through them lol. The rest have been preserved in my living room, and have provided years of enjoyment. They do need a sub to really bring out the home theater experience but all do these days. Driven by a Bryston 4B-ST in stereo, the sound is immaculate, and I never pushed never to see what the boundaries were. 

I've decided to sell everything I own and go travel the world so these need a new home. They have been preserved the entire time I have owned them, and for a set of 7 speakers, I would have to say they are in phenomenal condition for 30 year old speakers. All the grills are perfect, and there is only one ding on one rear corner of one speaker. All the drivers are mint, and have been dusted with air regularly. 

The big question is... what are they worth? As studio monitors all of the included speakers except for the stands with the 8" drivers in them are exceptional, with the accuracy that Duntech and John Dunlavy's legacy there produced. I'm fairly convinced that this is the only remaining set in existence (mine was the last set produced), and they're  near mint. So I have a one off set of high quality finished prototype speakers because they never went to market. Apparently Duntech as a company was going through some challenges at the time. Any input before I list them would be appreciated. Can email pics to anyone interested. 

 

Over the years I’ve learned quite a bit about the history of both John Dunlavy and Duntech. I spoke to Jack Davis via LinkedIn years ago and he confirmed that the speakers were of his design. He would not confirm however, the details of John’s departure and the agreements regarding intellectual property, but you can’t make a company or its staff "unlearn" scientific principals or technology. 

I don’t know if Duntech was as pedantic moving forward on matching drivers or setting time phase and testing each set of speakers as John was, but there’s a reason they’re still in business and regarded still as being some of the worlds most accurate speakers. Either way, it hurts me to sell them now but I sure am glad to have had them in my life. Suppose this is akin to putting a beloved pet down.
