I now own a pair of some of the best speakers every made!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (1 Viewer)

[Jesse Sharrow]

Ok guys. Well they must have redisigned them when wybron bought them out. Becuase the box says scII, the Frequency response chart says SCII, the impulse response chart says SCII and the speakers themselves say SCII. Plus the drivers that are in MY speakers are 6 1/2"'s not 4"'s. So Im not sure. Oh well doesnt matter. I love them!

Plus my wife told me the SCI's are wall mountable. If I wall mounted these....... it would have to be with 12" lag bolts and it would still rip the stud out of the wall! They are heavy.

Looking at your second picture you are keeping very expensive Dunlavy speakers on the floor right next to toys that small children play with. Toddlers and speakers do not mix! There are courts in Europe that could imprison you for such offenses!

Jesse:

You have great speakers, some of the best ever made. But if you ever need drivers replaced or repaired it will be important for you to know what the exact model is. Trust me, one would not want to "wall hang" Dunlavy SC-1AV speakers. Size: 20" H x 8" W x 10 1/2" D Weight: 25 Pounds Each

Take a look at a picture of what a Dunlavy SC-11 speaker really looks like

The frequency response printout seems to say "SC-2.AV".

 

[Drew Bethel]

If I had speakers like those it would be for a dedicated music room only. All that stuff in the middle can potentially ruin the imaging.

 

[John Garcia]

You don't need to biwire them unless you use an external amp, and if you get a decent amp, you probably won't need to biwire them at all.

Drew,

What do you mean by 'stuff in the middle' ruining the imaging??

 

[Phil Iturralde]

Actually, if for example, ... Jesse got more sets to complete his HT setup, just treat them like a large wall-hanging item, ... like I did with my JBL S26's ...

• Dimensions (H x W x D): 17" x 10" x 10"
• Weight: 22 lb

Right side surround speaker

Rear Center Channel surround speakers

The hardware I used (from Home Depot) is rated for 50 lbs.

Those are some mighty big speakers you have hanging there, Phil! I guess I shouldn't have said "you wouldn't" I should have said "I wouldn't".

The tv, etc. inbetween the speakers has a negative effect on imaging.

 

[AlbertD]

Jessee is spot on. Those speakers are in fact, Dunlavy SC-2a's. The SC-2a is identical to the Dunlavy SM-1, except that the wood veneer is carried to the front of the speaker. It does sport larger drivers than the SC-1's or 1AV's. Here is a link on the SM-1's which should be the spec for Jessee's speakers. http://202.186.86.35/audio/story.asp?file=/2000/4/06dun

Fabulous speakers!!!!

 

[John Garcia]

In an ideal setup, the speakers would be placed a fair distance out into the room, and there would be nothing between them. The TV, most notably, a large flat surface, will affect imaging. Most typical HTs do not afford ideal placement though. If you can pull the front face forward of the TV/rack, imaging will be better.

Jesse,

Great score! As others have said, get those things up on stands (hell, milk crates, or better yet some cement blocks in a pinch) and you'll find they probably sound even better.

I always get a bit sad when I go by the Dunlavy facility (it's barely a mile from my house). They clearly had the passion. You have some special speakers for sure.

Congratulations on scoring those speakers - it is just the sort of thing we all dream about happening to us. Just out of curiosity, could you tell us what was the special "employee" price the company extended to your wife vs. the Dunlavy list price? I'm sure the info will make us all feel a little more envious, if that is possible!

 

[frank manrique]

Congrats for acquiring such speakers!

Dunlavy was one of a rare handful of "high-end" speaker manufacturers that produced truly outstanding sounding, accurate transducers...unlike so many fakes that believe pricing their rip-offs from somebody else's speaker designs in the thousands of Dollars will fool everyone. Too bad Dunlavy went under... :frowning:

[Jesse Sharrow]

Thanks guys. I dont want to say solid numbers but they cost roughly a little over a 1/4 of what they retailed for. But I think Im going to use my old sony speaker to sit them on. Get them up off the floor.

But by the way. As if I thought it couldnt get any better. My wife called me today and said they basically cleaned out the factory and any extra stuff the employess could have for free.

So now Im waiting to recieve.....

2 15" Sub Drivers
2 10" Sub Drivers
1 Optical Cable
and a ton of other cables. RCA's, Speaker wire, etc.!!!

This is awsome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have the above stands. They are hefty and wonderful looking as well. They are almost impossible to knock over if you have toddlers.

If you don't like these stands, try the below web site:

Good Luck and enjoy bud.
