Original owner of the SC1AV's, SM1's, SC3's, SC4's and SC4's and SC4A's. The 5's and 6'S I will reserve for a casket when I die. I never had the space. All are incredible. I kept the SC3's and actually feel they are the best of the lot when supplied with a proper sub and electronics of course. Basically they are the largest disappearing mini monitor I've ever heard. Yes Planars (Maggies/Logans, etc...) and Statics sound super cool and always sizzle or exaggerate imho and I love both of those as well. But if you want ruler flat speakers that go away once placed perfectly you cant go wrong with DAL. Side note even 1/8th an inch will make a huge difference. Also get real spikes Outriggers work wonders. From my exp the harder your speakers are to place the better the speaker is, cause your hearing the room dynamics. Definitely not recommend for less expensive gear or people that wont spend the time and money to get it right. Dunlavy's are like a woman that you married and divorced 3 times but ultimately you keep coming back to her. They can be that annoying to get placed right.
At the end of the day if your typing on your laptop or some other chore and the music is so good you have to stop and listen laugh and say "Dam that sounds good" your done what ever your brand... Enjoy the emotion your system is giving you and search for a woman that can do the same thing! Dunlavy's have always done that for me and a great loss to the Audio community with his passing. Godspeed Sir John Dunlavy!
