Dunlavy SC IV Speaker- Any Good???
John Dunlavy designed the Duntech line. For their time, they were excellent. I removed some ( not all ) of the fabric he had on the front panels. IMO, this opened them up, dramatically, for my ears.   
K-horn won't fit, any other corner speakers recommended for a big room?
I have not heard the new Khorn other than in a corner, so I cannot say from my own listening experience, if they were to be excellent set up in free space, away from all walls and corners. But I speak to many Klipsch and Khorn owners ( I am talkin...

Late to this very sad news. RIP Pierre. Met him several times and had a few conversations with him ( all about music ).1st time I met Pierre, I was the " demo guy " for the Jadis brand at the ’96 Stereophile show at the NY Waldorf. My buddy and a ... 
Has anyone compared the Heresy to new KLH model 5?
I am a Klipsch Heritage guy. Have you damped the horns ( mids and tweets ) and the woofer baskets ? Crossover, too. Cleans them up considerably. Heresy IIs can use subwoofer help with the lowest octave. Without reading review after review, are you... 
Does anyone have any experience with the LSA VT70? Thoughts, comparisons??
I believe Mark Schifter has paid his dues, and has suffered enough. Let's keep to the topic please. TY
