No, the SC-1 with a subwoofer will not give you the sound of an SC-IV. As far as bass output, it has a lot to do with the room, equipment and the person setting up the system.
Dunlavy SC-IV minus SC-I = a good sub?
After an ear-glazing day at the Stereophile show in 1994, I landed in a room with Dunlavy SC-IVs, and right away felt they were the best thing I'd heard, just sounded good. I ended up hanging out there a long time.
I'd like to try some Dunlavys though I'll never get to audition any here in the desert...and see used SC-Is are quite reasonable (and shippable).
Clearly they won't have the bass of an SC-II, III, or IV. But to what degree would a sub make up any differences? Would the SC-I plus a sub give me a good sense of how larger Dunlavys might sound?
Thanks for generously sharing any thoughts.
