Attention: Dunlavy Audio Labs out of business


I cannot believe that I am the first to post this.

Any comments to this? Was this just well known to everyone but me?

Sorry Ohlala, but LOL! Not laughing at your situation, only at your good timing & placement with the comment.

- x-Dunlavy owner.
Lpgal:
If your argument in court is going to be that your speakers now have lower resale value, and the dealer is responsible, so he should compensate you as a result, then don't bother.
Also, with your speakers retailing for about $9K, even if you were to win (on what grounds?) you would lose after attorneys fee's. Don't be surprised if your DAL dealer found out about the news at the same time as you. Also, warranty wise, you don't have much to worry about, not much can wrong, and DAL items can be bought through many sources. Give it a 3-6 months and someone else will probably buy DAL and revive it.
Dunlavy pro's and con's....................

Please note: I have sold almost every DAL model made,
and have had almost every DAL model in my own system.

Per customers and potential customers:
Too tall.
Too ugly.
Better fit & finish wanted on the standard finish models.
Set up an issue due to the need to be on the long wall (BIG issue).
Grills could be better.
SC-V & SC-VI packing was good, but a nightmare to deal with.

Per the people that sold them:
Terrible ads.
Terrible pics on the website (until recently).
Contradiction between John talking down about cables while
selling cables (although not incredibly expensive ones, but not cheap either).
HONEST SPECS (lot of BS in that area in this business...).

Positive comments (sellers and buyers):
Life like presentation.
Very easy to drive.
Great value.
Fantastic x-over design; similar specs from the SC-I to the SC-VI
(all frontward firing speakers were 91 db efficiency all downward
firing were 90, and specs were always a genuine +-1.5db!).

Anyone could visit the factory or call John.
John was ready to retire. He's been doing this a long time.
He could design, but marketing he never could figure out.
As I have said for years: "Designers should design, and sales people should sell".
Don't mix the two. He never could understand that.
Seemed to think people would buy the product simply because on
paper they could be proven to be the best. Well, that's not enough.

There are many die hard DAL fans out there, especially SC-VI owners.
Don;t be surprised if DAL returns. Will John return with it???????????
