I had the SC-IVs which I liked very much but I wanted more definition in the midrange so I started listening to a lot of speakers and read about other folks experiences. I went to a single driver system so I could take advantage of SET amplification and get away from the crossover issues. I bought a sub that was fast enough to keep with the single driver speakers. I ended with improved dynamics and increased definition in the midrange and bottom end. I am very happy. Single driver speakers may not be for everyone - everyone is searching after their own audio nirvana. But I would take a listen to different types of speakers - planars, electrostatics, larger Dunlavy's, horn, etc.. Find out what you think you are missing and see what the tradeoffs are with other speakers. If you are going to spend $15K, consider changes to your amp and preamp and cables.... as well as power and resonance control. Good luck and enjoy!
replacing Dunlavy SC-IV's
Hi folks, I've lived for 7 years now with a pair of Dunlavy SC-IV's, which are admirable speakers by the way. Now I'm looking for other speakers (better ones). Are there better speakers than these Dunlavies (maybe SC-IVA of SC-V) for a reasonable price ($15,000 would be my limit). My set: CEC TL-0 CD-transport, Bel Canto DAC 1.1, Accuphase amplification and Dunlavy SC-IV's. What do you think of Genesis or JM Lab (Utopia)?
