Teledyne Acoustic Research Ar9 speakers

Looking for a good comparison between the AR9 speakers and Dunlavy SCIV speakers. Want folks feed back on the two speakers on which would be the better overall performer. I hear that while the Dunlay's are great speakers they lack in the bottom end? I do not want to run separate subs. I hear the AR9 are hard to beat even in comparison to some of today's speakers.

AR9 need power to bring out their potential, 200-300 watts/ch. nice sound but somewhat off in soundstage accuracy.

Dunlavy's are very accurate speakers, bass never seemed to be a problem for me. The Dunlavy's are very room and placement sensitive. I tweaked mine for several weeks to fine the best sweet spot, the AR9 were more strait forward with positioning.

My choice is Dunlavy's by far.

Agreed. I have some strong monoblock amps to power either set of speakers. More curious to get opions as to which speaker folks feel are the better all around performer.

I sold the original AR9 and believe they had a re-introduction. The original was good for the day.............but compared to Dunlavy........really? Dunlavy makes a great product. It's really a no-brainer. The Dunlavy is particular about cabling.....really particular, so you will need to voice them. Good luck.
