Dunlavy SC IV Speaker- Any Good???
Anyone own these ?
I realize the company is now Defunct
and was Colorado based.
At 200 lbs each and 6 feet tall they
will not be missed in a room.
But they actually weigh the same as
my last speakers but with only one third the footprint.
Okay the little woman may see it as a lateral
move but...
I've listened to the Duntech Sovereign quite a few times in a mastering studio with the finest original recordings. Extremely detailed, which is why they are being used for mastering. Dunlavy may be out of business but Duntech is not, so if you have the ching you can purchase these brand new. http://duntech.com/products/sovereign.html If the link does not work (got a weird warning from A'gon) then just Google Duntech Sovereign, they are in Australia.

I owned the SC-IVA's and had to sell them due to selling the house where the room was almost large enough..... Amazing speakers in my opinion. I was tempted to replace x-over caps, but after reading about the fact they were individually hand matched to the drivers, I decided against it. I'm glad I did because after several hours of pulsing high current through them the solens reformed and they became pure magic! BTW there are no electrolytics in the x-overs to go bad. Hopefully the ones you are looking at have been used regularly. I now own SM-1's with SC-S2 subwoofer and still enjoy the Dunlavy magic daily. I like to say the only thing wrong with Dunlavys is the source material as each tweak to that end is revealed. If I had the room, I would definitely own another pair! |
More good info. I saw the SkyHi Audio VI ad. 500 lbs each at $20k- Nope. They did offer to cover shipping. All in the amazing MU% they operate on.
The SC IV pair I will be listening to is owned by a sound engineer who uses them in his home so they have not been in a garage for 20 years otherwise I would pass.
The Duntechs are likely fantastic but not in my wheelhouse price-wise. What does anyone think is the minimal WPC required to operate these? I listen at a max of 75db. Vocals and acoustic music mostly. Do the Duntechs do well at lower volumes???
Best,
