Hi Romy, first my apologize for the somewhat confusing reply I posted. The Dunlavy question is not related to the very funny Kharma news you mentioned (which is of course a very sick but brilliant joke! Heheh). I actually have the Dunlavy SC-V a...

Hi Romy, I'm from the Netherlands and I've heard this news too.What do you think of Dunlavy speakers? Do you think they are crappy, worthless and outdated? I know John Dunlavy used some cheap drivers on his speakers. I have the SC-V. Chris...

I spent most of the nigh today working in my listening room while
listening my Dunlavy++. Since it was deep night, I was listening quietly and
mostly Jimmy Scott, that I love a lot. What the liberating experiences was with
the Dunlavy++!!! One of ...

I had today time and pleasure to spend some time to listen
my Dunlavy SC-III with TN51 tweeter and a new 3K tweeter crossover. What a marvelous
change! As I said above the Dunlavy instantly cot converted from corky cult product
to a truly magnific...

We enter a complicated region as the lower driver we go the drivers could be used for different purposes and it is very hard to generalize. A 10-incher might be MF driver and LF driver. In my past I experimented with few MF 10-inchers, including some...

I recognized that I have tired for the last week like hell. Do not ask me what I got tired from – I will not be able to say. That whole moving, packing, unpacking this was too exhausting… The good thing is that I go an interesting room as a resul...

I am not so impressed bout BD Design speakers. I truly hated the BMS drivers that they use and I truly hate the network of the blabbering cretins that BD Design built around itself. Any single critical mentioning of BD Design lead to a sudden sho...

Greg,
BTW, if you go for direct radiation and would like to go for Dunlavy-like symmetric configuration (perfect for along wall) then here is for you an idea that I do like very much. I took that idea from old version Kharma Audiocritique and made i...

Watched youtube feeds and found my way back here. Interested to hear more about your priorities in the new build. Given the project is inspired by Dunlavy, I presume the build will be time aligned with first order crossover? If so, are you intendi...

Romy, I thought the Ref3 mm-de capos sounded pretty good last I heard them. No idea if they are ported or not. I've been told the crossover is rather simple. To me, they did a good disappearing act. Probably expensive.For dece...

As many know I sine move in the new house do not have a fully functional Macondo and most of the time I listen Dunlavy with SS amp. Melquiades sit in there, collecting dust , waiting what it will be called to duty again. This weekend it was called an...

Are you using the ScanSpeak pair of the original Dunlavy tower for the midbass or something else? Can you pls give the outer dimensions of the towers to have some image? ...

Romy, it’s selfunderstood (at least to me) that the project is in its infancy and you are on terra incognita. Im trying to visualize what was „the last working configuration”.

I am not sure what to make of the decision. I understand the quandry surrounding "high maintenance" dates but am not sure about the replacement. I guess we will see after the honeymoon. I am surprised that you have not tried - or written about the IB...

...if a 50yo 8" woofer could do much more than 90dB at 50Hz with anything approaching 'ease'. Remedies in this configuration are a lot like small 2-way standmounts in that we are trying to get a lot of bass output from something small and excursion ...

Romy:you must mean person with Zu Druid. What did he not like about Druid in the end (bass aside)? What did he not like about Altec? What off-the-shelf speaker is he going to try next, or will he throw it all in and stick with Bose table radio? Or Du...

Reading Romys ventures for years has given me a (probably primitive) picture of how his "world" works. Regardless, the changes in his "style" of posting have shifted as much as the "content". I do not think that the Dunlavy/Dunnoys would have had the...

|
Hi Romy, I agree with you that most speakers have some tilt-up treble response, maybe not on paper but subjectively so. I think this has to do with "beaming" of the tweeter. In real life sound in general (high frequencies included) becomes weake...

You know, it surprises me how much less fan to listen my playback without ULF. Nope, the playback does not sound bad from audio perspective without ULF but it for sure a bit different experience. From a certain perspective to be in a room with U...

I is funny how my listening attitude is working. While my midbass horn is not built I do not listen music on my main system. I listen in via my MiniMe (Dunlavy 3) or in my headphones at work. At my home system I do not listen but rather think how it ...

Chris,
I do not know how my opinion about the Dunlavy related to news about the Kharma Loudspeakers. There is a differents between the “not-effective enough drivers” (for instance the woofers used in your SC-V) and the fundamentally faulty drivers t...

The 10" "woofer" is well known to "high-end" designers, who love the "fast" bass, and I have to admit that Wilson and Dunlavy (among others) have also managed to get some impressive (at least for a while...) "dynamics" from the little woofers. To lo...

What I would like to see is as usually does not exist but I would like to see a regular cone full-range loudspeaker objectionably made for use with a single powerful SET.
What I have in mind is a sealed enclosure the size of Dunlavy V or VI, 4-5 way...
