Help with Dunlavy SC-IV signature
@cerberus79 Somebody messing with the crossovers would explain a lot of things. John and team measured every single raw driver and entered all the measurements into a computer, computer-selected a set of matched drivers to build a pair of speakers... 
Help with Dunlavy SC-IV signature
Did you ever find out what the issue was? I have 4 pairs of Dunlavys: SC-III, SC-IV and 2 pairs of SC-V, none of them are bright or unbalanced. I'd say they're the most neutral and balanced speakers I've ever heard.   
Dunlavy SC-IV vs Duntech Princess
John could have used any drivers and components he wanted. He had companies pestering him and sending him drivers all the time; and he could pick anything he wanted. He was a practical man, no need to use an exotic $400 tweeter when he got excelle... 
Dunlavy resurrection?
DAL picked up where Duntech left off. JD said his DAL speakers were more accurate than the earlier Duntech designs because of things he learned over time, advanced measuring equipment, and his large anechoic chambers. Hard to believe that 20+ year... 
what are your top "audio bargins" in your system history?
B&W 802 S3 - bought them in 2001 for only $1200, and still own them Dunlavy SC-V - my favorite speakers I've ever heard.  
What's the heaviest speaker you've ever owned? What's the tallest?
Dunlavy SC-V 75" tall 330 lbs  
Dunlavy SC IV-A grills
Did you ever figure this out? I have 4 pairs of Dunlavy speakers, and none of them have felt on the grills.   
Amps replacement
I drive my Dunlavy SC-V with a pair of PS Audio M700, and they sound great. Before that I used a Wyred 4 Sound ST-1000 mk II with equally great results. I justed to go to mono amps so I could put the amps next to the speakers and use very short sp... 
Dunlavy resurrection?
Any updates on this? I've become a big Dunlavy convert over the part 3-1/2 years, and currently own SC-III, SC-IV and SC-V. The SC-V, to my ears, are the best sounding speakers I've ever heard by a wide margin.   
Dunlavy SC-IV vs Duntech Princess
John Dunlavy himself said that DAL speakers were better than Duntech he designed. ""And no! The speakers I designed in Australia did not exhibit the level of accuracy of our present designs because I had neither a decent, large anechoic chamber o... 
Dunlavy SC IV Speaker- Any Good???
I don't know what kaplandeisgn is talking about, but he's not correct about drivers needing to be reconed. I own 4 pairs of Dunlavy speakers; 2 pairs of SC-Vs, a pair of SC-IVs and a pair of SC-IIIs. I also own a SC-II.CC center channel. Out of 51... 
Does Time alignment and Phase coherency make for a better loudspeaker?
To my ears, I've never heard a better sounding pair of speakers than my Dunlavy SC-Vs. I started out with IIIs, then IVs, and finally my Vs. Once you hear proper time-aligned, phase-coherent speakers, and get used to them, you'll probably never wa...
