Hi,
I'll point out that all the speakers you all have mentioned use 1st order designs. What I'm hearing from all this is is that it's generally thoujght that the 1st order crossover is most responsible for the sound of the speakers.
I must say that I never noticed the Dunlavys I have heard to sound boxy or anything like it. I've also owned a pair of Thiel speakers and liked them alot, but found them to be somewhat wanting in the midrange area. I like the Vandersteen line but also find it somewhat recessed in the upper frequency regions for my tastes.
I must admit that it's quite disappointing to see Dunlavy out of the mix, but sometimes you just have to move on. Keep on with the ideas--something has to be out there that's as good or better!
