| Someone had mentioned Christopher Hansen on a thread I read the other day Wow!! Old thread but that store ended up costing me bazillions of dollars over the last 30 years, During the early 90's I would travel to the LA area on business, and visited that store each time I could. The 2nd (and last) time I visited I wand... | |
| Best spkrs for rock: Dunlavy V-Watt/Puppy-Revel?? I agree with Mejames--if you are hearing strain from a pair of Dunlavy SC_V's, I sure don't want to be in the same zip code as the system. | |
| Alternatives to Dunlavy speakers? Snook2The boomy bass you had was not the fault of the Dunlavy's---it was the way they interacted in YOUR room. Very few really good high end speakers that I can think of (and I won't name the ones I can) have "boomy" bass if carefully placed in th... | |
| Has anyone had dCS Elgar/Purcell Upgrades done? I have the non-upgraded versions of the Purcell and Delius AND I have the Verdi. You will get (IMO) 90% of the Verdi sound without doing the upgrade.Before I bought the Verdi, I took my Purcell/Delius to a friend who had the upgraded Elgar and Pur... | |
| Alternatives to Dunlavy speakers? While the Montana's may lok like Dunlavy's, the go directly against two of John's design criteria --- sealed enclosure and 1st order crossover. And they sound nothing like Dunlavy's | |
| Attention: Dunlavy Audio Labs out of business I would suspect that no-one will pick up the Dunlavy line. High end audio (for two channel or home theater) is a tough business in good times. In times like these, well--it's tougher.For existing Dunlavy product owners, most of the drivers (if not... | |
| Has anyone else ever reached an audio impasse? I did not read every post, but little was said about the room.I am not impartial on this subject as I used to sell the product, but it would be very interesting to have someone "SigTech" (digital room correction) the room. I performed thousands of... | |
| looking for upgrade suggestions - 12,000 to spend My recommendation of not modifying Dunlavy's (I own SC-VI's) is based upon the Dunlavy approach to speaker design.He carefully tests and matches his drivers to obtain what he belives are the correct results (impulse, frequency (plus or minus 1db),... | |
| looking for upgrade suggestions - 12,000 to spend Don't sell the speakers and DO NOT modify them. While the changes suggested in a previous post (tweeter, X-Over,etc) will certainly change the Dunlavy's, the kind of improvement you MAY get (or just as likely, screwing up the sound) will be minisc... | |
| Dunlavy out of buisness? Dunlavy is NOT going out of business.The company has been sold and John will be retained as a consultant. They will be at CES this year but in with everyone else as opposed to being by themselves in a separate building.I was told their web site wa... | |
| Dunlavy SC-VI Because the design parameters are the same, they (V's and VI's) are very similar. The VI's don't really go any lower than the V's (at least in a normal room) but because of the radiating area of the bass drivers, they have more weight to the botto... | |
| TACT RCS 2.0 Users Group Mr. mikenificent1......Obvioulsy I had involvement with SigTech or I would not have installed so many. Up until the last few years, the SigTech was the only truly operational digital room correction product available. Other products (not the Tact)... | |
| Dunlavy SC-VI I suspect the dip was between 32 and 45 Hz. One of the advantages of the SigTech (or the TAct in this case) is to carefully move the speakers and listening position and remeasure until you can reduce the amplitude of the dip in the low end.I had t... | |
| TACT RCS 2.0 Users Group Drubin--it is not consistent. The one place where it is consistent is in the low end. If you use one of the curves with the boosted base, you actually get flatter base but the problem (as I stated in an ealier post) is that you don't know how much... | |
| TACT RCS 2.0 Users Group Mr Lyngdorf is incorrect.I have both units and have long term experience in this area. Fact: With the Tact you have no way of knowing what the end result is after correction. When looking at the actual measurements after correction using industry ... |
