| dunlavy sc4 vs. Vandersteen 4 speakers By 'whole room experience', I mean that the Vandersteen design concept is one of having a fairly wide dispersion pattern coming from each speaker. This results in a similar listening experience whether you are centered between the speakers or off ... | |
| dunlavy sc4 vs. Vandersteen 4 speakers The Dunlavy(s) are much more directional than the Vandersteen(s). In the sweet seat, the SC-4(s) will outperform the Model 4(s) hands down as far as imaging, tight bass extension and depth. If you are looking for a 'whole room' experience the Vand... | |
| Does anyone listen to Military Music? Mceljo...I was a part of the USMA Cadet Glee Club when at West Point. That was 45 years ago. Thanks for the recommendation. A trip down memory lane. | |
| Is Vinyl Worth It I remember Harold Youngblood who had a shop in Oklahoma City selling a number of top brands including Audio Research, Oracle, PS Audio among others. He set up analog rigs for decades before finally stating that "digital is good enough" to end the ... | |
| My stereo isn't doing it for me. Need advice My experience with high end audio suggest that the size and dimensions of your room has a lot to do with your perspective on how your equipment is performing. A 9x11 room with the 8ft ceiling will never allow the propagation of really deep bass fu... | |
| The most helpful Forum Discussion Topics??? I agree with you Arnettpartners. There seems to be two (at least) categories of Forum responders. There are those who offer there knowledge and opinions in a positive and constructive way and there are those who try to be sarcastic/witty and typic... | |
| Brass screws make a real difference on Dunlavy s ? Thanks Peter for getting the discussion back to something useful. I plan to keep the Dunlavy(s) for a long time and as they age there will no doubt be a need to find creative ways to maintain or improve their performance. As a side note, I have ha... | |
| Brass screws make a real difference on Dunlavy s ? Begator, seems to me you enjoy splitting hairs. Am I to understand that tightening screws to their original tension level is not a tweak, but if they are now secured better than new and an advancement in sound is the result, that somehow this is a... | |
| Brass screws make a real difference on Dunlavy s ? To answer a couple of comments/questions, I just simply tightened all existing driver mount screws to a secure/snug level. I did not try to apply a lot of force or torque but tried to bring all the screws to about the same point of rotation. I did... | |
| Brass screws make a real difference on Dunlavy s ? Good question(s) Foster. What I noticed was a modest amount of additional transparency. It is the sort of improvement you get when using a good CD cleaner or beveling the edge with a lathe. Last night was fun using some very familiar high def CDs ... | |
| Brass screws make a real difference on Dunlavy s ? Well, I took your advice and decided to tighten the screws on the SC-V(s)and everything in the HT room ranging from the SC-IV(s) to the SC-I center channel. Some of the screws were very snug to begin with while others took a couple of rotations to... | |
| "Warm Sounding" Solid State Amplifiers Jeff Rowland products have the attributes of tubes without the liabilities. Rowland components are also manufactured from bar stock aluminum and use very high grade internal circuitry. I know of no other high end company that produces products tha... | |
| Speakers or Amplifier Why not go with a set of subwoofers? SVS, JL, Martin Logan ... just to name a few have excellent products. Make sure that it's a sealed unit with adequate power. Subs have come a long way and may really improve even a very nice system such as yours. | |
| Dunlavy SC IV A harsh high frequency I agree with Rja. Something is definitely not right if you are blowing tweeters at that rate. I have just about every speaker model John ever designed and most of the units have worked perfectly for many years without replacing a thing. I have a s... | |
| Best High End Audio Manufacturer??? I would like to thank everyone who has responded to this thread. What I've observed is that it's really hard to pick just one manufacturer, because (in truth) it's taken many talented individuals to corporately bring this hobby to the incredibly h... |
