Shipping Dunlavy SC 3's

Greetings. I am curious to get some input on packing up a pair of Dunlavy SC3's. They are about 6 feet tall, 8 inches wide and about 12 inches deep. They wiegh about 80 pounds each. They are a sealed enclosure with 5 drivers each. I have no boxes or crates. They are in immaculate shape; grill cloth as well as snaps in perfect conditiion. My moving company said that they could box them, but I am a bit suspect. I was thinking of wrapping them in clear plastic wrap, followed by bubble wrap, and placing hard material over the driver area, then blanketing them. Anyone have any suggestions on how to pack them?

thanks!

Check with Audio-Video Logic of Des Moines/Urbandale, Iowa. They were a dealer for Dunlavy and purchased some left over stock. They may have boxes or advise for you.

Judsauce, if A-V Logic can't help, I would think your moving company could pack them adequately.

I have a pair of Duntech Princess that weigh 180 pounds each. They were flown to the US from Oz in cardboard boxes, strapped to a wood pallet and came without any damage. I would have each speaker wrapped in a heavy gauge plastic, then have them fitted with boxes allowing for stand-offs on all sides.

Thanks, Pryso. I'm leaning more towards the moving company. They specialize in antiques as well. I'll mention the heavy gauge plastic too.
