Owners of Duntech Crown Prince still out there?

still one the greatest loudspeakers at ANY price. Ironically duntech is still not distributed in the US. their pcl 25 will still compete with any of the rash of ultra expensive monitor types including wilson, lipinski, merlin and more...a legend

I owned the original Princesses (which were fully-veneered but had the Crown Prince base) for many years. At one point I had to replace some of the drivers in one of the speakers and found Duntech's service to be outstanding, in terms of price, quality (they had a precisely matched set of replacement drivers waiting for my speaker!!) and promptness (express delivery from Australia to my door). I think you made a smart move. While I can think of a few designs that might be better in one area or another, particularly transparency, the Crown Prince/Princess, as well as the Sovereign, are superb classic designs that have held up extremely well over the years because they basically do everything very well and get the midrange right. I think your $15K price point is a pretty good estimate.

I owned a pair of crown prince for almost 10 years , superb sounding speakers ...The only speaker I have ever heard that sounds better to me is the Dynaudio confidence 5 .

I think they are excellent speakers. I clearly remember listening to them at CES more than a decade ago with Steve McCormack.

I was close to buying them myself I was so impressed.

yes, am still using duntech prince's i bought in 1995,probably built in 89...some months ago i changed two boomers and the crossover caps to SCR ones,my amp is an airtight ATM2.
In spite of visiting several high end hifi stores, i cannot find out any system more involving and closer to the real sound as mine..
I will visit soon a recording studio using duntech sovereign's fr mastering,fed by an hypex digital amp,in order to get a comparison feed-back.

Resurrecting this thread from the dead... I just jumped on a pair of Crown Princes and WOW.. I love these speakers.  Bass is excellent which is very important to me, I hate using subs with 2 ch.  Had the woofer surrounds replaced with Dynaudio surrounds at Duntechs suggestion.  Anyway, I have a few questions maybe you can help answer.

1. What was the original MSRP in USD?

2. I've noticed several different designs of the rear post panel.. Some have one set of binding posts, others have two.  Some have switches, others don't.  Mine have one set of posts with two LF switches to lower the bass by 1 or 2 db...

I had a pair of the original Crown Princes with the veneer (which made it a Princess); the list price back in 1987 when I got them was $7,700US, I believe.  The Crown Prince without the veneer was less, maybe between $6,000 and $6,500 (?).  It had two pairs of binding posts for bi-wiring, no LF switches.  Sounds like yours might be a later model.
