Need Info Re. Duntech Home Cinema System 100

Hopefully someone can help me. I recently purchased a full set of Duntech Home Cinema System 100 speakers. The system consists of (2) TH33's, (3) TH88's, and (2) TH99's. The 99's are woofers and act as stands as well. The 99's are 8" Vifa made in Denmark and are being refoamed this week, the rest are mint. I cannot find any evidence of these speakers existence, and I am interested in the best configuration of this system and it's value. Lots of info on Duntech and John Dunlevy history, but nothing at all on these speakers (made in Australia). Age??? Have had no luck in contacting Duntech via email. Any info would be much appreciated.

Lifeislarge, I owned a pair of Duntech Princess speakers from 1990 until last year and I attempted to keep abreast of Duntech and DAL products during that time. I was also fortunate to have personal conversations with John Dunlavy on three occasions.

I never heard of Duntech Home Cinema System 100 speakers. Mr. Dunlavy returned to the US from Australia by around 1993 and had no further design input for Duntech models. He set up production for the Duntech Black Knight speakers in the US but ended that and established Dunlavy Audio Labs (DAL) by about 1995.

I would continue to attempt to reach Duntech Australia via their website to inquire about your speakers.

Hi Lifeislarge,

I had correspondence with Jack Davis regarding my Princesses after John Dunlavy separated from Duntech. My impression was that Mr. Davis was knowledgeable but not to be confused with Mr. Dunlavy. I know that Duntech expanded their line up to three series, one of which was the continuation of Dunlavy's designs.

Your curiosity about their linage is understandable. Now if you enjoy their performance, no worries.
