They also sound very good if you have atleast a room size of about 14x14 and some up... Good Luck, Dave

The Dunlavy's though for the money will be hard to beat.. Good luck, Dave

Preferably on the long wall. You need at least 10'++ of separation distance for these speakers. Plus some room from the side walls. Even though your amp will drive them, the SC-IVa's will not reach their full potential on that kind of power. As with any speaker, large amps always bring out the best in dynamics. Also, since Dunlavy is out of business, be careful if you should need replacement drivers. May be very difficult to find.
