Speaker replacement advice

If your looking for a smaller Dunlavy V, I'd suggest Thiel 7.2.

SC-V's were a popular mastering monitor. You might want to check out this review

To summarize, the review says ATC 300's have an advantage in dynamics and SPL levels; rockers liked ATC's more. The review gave DAL SC-V the edge with classical engineers/listeners. Both are highly regarded for studio monitoring.

This is only a suggestion, but a smaller ATC, such as the tower version of the 50's, might fit your new room much better and still keep up with what you are used to from DAL SC-V's (accuracy, dynamics and volume levels) although you may lose some of the ultra LF. It might be worth a listening session to compare.

Another possibility might be PMC's. I think you will get more bass extension from the TL design than ATC's. You might find this to be closer to DAL SC-V's in the ultra LF bass...then again you may like the tighter less bass heavy ATC's...all a matter of taste.

castle howard.....not acoustic suspension, but well rounded and great with all kinds of music. one of the best cabinets in audio too......real bass also

Hi Isgau8.I am a former dunlavy 4 owner and I can tell you it would be very hard to beat the dunlavy within the price range..however I get to listen to my friend tyler acoustic woodmeers and was very impressed,but those are not small either..sorry..
