Does It Make Sense to Purchase Dunlavy Speakers

Audio-Video Logic has purchased the complete stock of Dunlavy speakers and is selling them at very attractive prices. Dunlavy is no longer in business and I'm concerned about repairs if needed. Dunlavy drivers are individually matched, ane then pairs are matched for the two speakers, finally the crossovers are hand tweaked for final matching. Would appear on the surface that if a driver goes bad the "match" is gone forever. Comments??

I saw the ad also. The prices are still quite high, especially if you factor in the shipping costs. If you were to audition and pick-up at the store my concerns about shipping damage/system synergy would greatly be reduced. As far as driver/crossover matching I understand your concern. The questions I would be concerned about would be:(1) Who makes their drivers, (2)Future availablity, (3) Are they made especially for Dunlavy (closer tolerances). If in the event driver/s need replacing I would think original factory performance would probably hard to duplicate. However, what are the chances of something castastrophic happening? Also, the way things come and go here, how long are you planning on owning them? The real questions in my mind is how much would you be able to resell them for? How difficult would it be to find a buyer? Shipping could be
problemantic. (As with any large object) Sorry to hear the
unfortunate news about Dunlavy.
