Clash of the Titans: Dunlavy vs. Legacy


Can anyone offer comparisons between the Dunlavy SC-VI and the Legacy Audio Whisper or offer any personal experience regarding either speaker?

I'v heard the Dunlavy 5 speakers and the Legacy Whisper speakers. There is no comparison. The Dunlavy 5 speakers are light years better then the Legacy Whisper speakers. The Dunlavy 5 speakers sound so sweet and articulate. The speaker sounds so cohesive. The drivers blend in great together. On the Legacy Whisper speakers, it was the exact opposite. I felt the speakers sounded awkward. The Bass was booomy and blabby sounding. The drivers did not blend it together. I later found out, Legacy uses a woofer called Eminence. These are very cheap woofers. Get the Dunlavy 5 speakers. Also, the Dunlavy 4 speakers, are superior to any Legacy speakers.
To Twilo, Thanks for your info on these speakers. A few questions if I may... Were the Legacy speakers positioned properly in the room? What was the size of the room? Was there any experimenting done with regard to the speaker's placement? Were the Whispers being used with the included Whisper bass-dampening box and was it adjusted to suit your taste? I have heard the Whispers to sound boomy or flabby in the bass if this black box control knob is set too high. Dialing back on the knob tightened the bass right up, at which time the bass became very tight and tunefull in that particular room. Anyone else have any thoughts?
you call these two speakers "TITANS"? get real, whispers are with out a doubt much better than the "DUNLAVY" but neither can hold a candle, a tweeter, a mid,even a speaker spike or a woofer to " VON SCHWEIKERTS VR-6s " regards jammer
I own Dunlavy IVa's. Went to a Legacy showing in Dallas and had to leave after 10 minutes the sound was so bad. It must be their marketing that keeps them in business. The Dunlavy's are the best I've heard. Although their higher priced speakers are better than the IVa's, they all sound alike except for the subsonic bass. This alone should say something about Dunlavy's ability to design speakers. Hi fi has been my passion since the mid '50's.
