Speaker upgrade...


Thinking the upgrade(wanting to try something different) bug has bitten me, and I'm wanting to try some different speakers. I'm currently using Dunlavy SC4's which I'm perfectly happy with and have no issue with and could continue to live with for many more years. So this isn't a I don't like what I have post but more of a would these speakers be an improvement over my current speakers. I'm looking at BW N801 and Avalon Radian HC speakers.

Has anyone spent time with the above mentioned speakers who could chime in with what their thoughts are?

My advice is to hold tight until you can sit in front of a few things yourself... Your Dunlavy's have their own character.  When you listen to B&W or Legacy, A Golden Ear or Avalon,  what ever the brand may be, you will most likely hear a family resemblance.  You need a good feel of how different something else will be from your Dunlavy's. I also like the Legacy stuff, the current Signatures, Focus and Aeris are all very good speakers, but even with all of these recommendations, they may be so different from your Dunlavy's that they would be hard to get used to. 
Take your time, take a look around.  You'll come to a conclusion to replace or hold on and feel good about your decision.
