Hi Blue note,

I was interested in that very thing. I went to AudioReview and read all the reviews on B&W's from 9NT to the Nautilus 803's, then the Dunlavy's, I did not check on the Revel's as there is no dealer here, and no one I know highly recommends them. Stan Warren, of PS Audio/Superphon fame, says that the Dunlavys really need to be zobled to get the most from them, and presumable all speakers should be.

From what I could tell though, people buying B&W, generally speaking, and this is a deduction from post I read, so I could be wrong, but if they bought B&W, most did not listen to Dunlavys. Many buying Dunlavys mentioned listening to B&W…. So, to me the implication seems clear, Dunlavys are better. Not to mention Stan Warren’s being on the Dunlavy band wagon….

Hope this was of help,

Lou
Hi Michael,

So, while the Dunlavy's are hardly sub $5,000.00 have you listened to them?

Thanks,

Lou
Hi Michael,

I recently moved to Ohio from Philthadelphia... What part of the state are you in, I am near Cincinnati myself. There are VERY slim pickens here!
