Miss my Dunlavy Speakers, Were to go...

I had a pair of Dunlavy SC-1 speakers several years ago, and I miss them. They were so accurate, detailed (but never bright), and totally Disappeared into a room with hardwood floors and wood paneling that was only 10x10. I loved those speakers and miss them.

Short of finding a pair used were should I turn? My room is a little better, but not much. I listen fairly close. I have found Dynaudio just a bit dry for me. They have had most of what the Dunlavys offered, but just a little lean. I found Totem's Arro, Mite, and DC to be great, but not quit as accurate. They sing like the dickens and almost disappear, but they lacked a bit of the precision.

I have some Ohm that are still breaking in, but I'm having trouble getting used to their presentation. They sound a little laid back to me, and while I love the boxless sound they produce, it comes at the price of accuracy.

Anyway, these are just my MHO of these speakers and I know every person, room and system is different. I'm not trying to bash any of the above speakers. They all are really nice. I'm just to express where I stand, and trying to get a little guidance from some Dunlavy lovers out there.

Aside from any suggestions I may be moving onto Gallo 3.1s next.

Cheers,

I had a pair of Dunlavy SC-IV's, then bought a pair of B&W Silver Signature's. The B&W Silver Signature's to me, were much more natural, especially in the vocal range. I moved to a 10' x 12' room and the Silver Signature's completely disappeared, just this soundstage before me.

I moved the SC-IV's to the home theater and used the Silver Signature's for my stereo. I then looked for years for a replacement and finally found the Star Sound Caravelle's.

There's a pair for sale on Audiogon right now: http://www.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?spkrmoni&1249959936&/Star-Sound-Caravelles-With-Mat

I still have mine, and I'm not looking to replace them.

The only other monitors that I've heard and really liked was the Dynaudio C1 and Wilson Duette. I've read really good things about the new Eben. I also like the Magnapan 1.6's.
