the dunlavey's can indeed get bright at times, set up is the key and a little tweaking of toe in can work wonders. Transparent...yuuuck. my 2 cents only but while their midrange is glorious the top end gets crucified and the openness the dunlavys do so well just aint there. i'm using Harmonic Tech pro 9 biwire with my dunlavys and see no reason to change. they can be had pretty cheap these days
