| Which speaker to replace Dunlavy SC-V? Sean,The DAL V's might NOT be a narrow dispersion "design" but they do throw out a narrow dispersion pattern, this is well known being quite senstive to adjustments of toe in. As I stated, this is not ideal for HT where a broader dispersion patter... | |

| Speaker cable for Green Mountain Audio Callisto You would be hard pressed to out-class them (Callistos) with anything you could put in front of them regardless of pricetag.
