Is the dunlavy SC-IV still worth to buy?


Hi,
I just sold my Nautilus 805, and looking for an replacement upgrade. I looking for used speakers in the range of $1500-$2500. Since I live in Indonesia, I have little option in such speakers: Vandersteen 2Ce Sig ($1200), Michael Green Chameleon ($1900), Spendor LS3/5a ($1100), and Dunlavy SC-IV ($2400). I understand that each speaker has its own strength and weakness, but I found that Vandy2ceSig and Dunlavy SC-IV have such a great review. I've tried the Spendor LS3/5a, and quite impress with it, but I think that it would be better to get a floorstanding speaker, thus I don't have to get a sub-woofer right away. Regarding Michael Green Chameleon, I could not find much review on it, so my final tought would be Dunlavy SC-IV (not the new SC-IVa version). Thus, I would like to get some recommendation whether it's still woth it to get it. Or should I just get the Spendor LS3/5a, which many people say it has an impressive vocal?
My system:
Krell KSA250
Krell KSP-7B pre
AudioNote DAC-2 (not the latest version)
Jadis JD-3 CD
Not too high-end cables interconnect and speakers.
(my system mostly old since I have a very limited budget)
Any recommendation would be really appreciated. Thanks. (Sorry for my bad english)

I owned a set of Dunlavy IVs and upgraded to Vs. My best friend now owns my old IVs and I get to hear them fairly often. They are still a good speaker and at current market prices, are a steal! Try to buy locally so you can listen before you purchase. If any drivers are bad, replacements are available. John made a good product and you have the power to make them sing!
