Opinions on Dunlavy SC IVA , V , VI...

I've owned and enjoyed SC-IV, SC-IVa, SC-V over the years. Am presently using SC-IV, SC-III for center channel, SC-II for surrounds for a very effective home theatre system. This system has just the right ammount of resolution and will play all the great lease breaking movie soundtracks at very high volumes. One word of caution on early SC-V. The early models had DOME MIDRANGES, yes DOME midranges. These drivers were problematical- I had one or two crap out at fairly high, but not extreme, volume levels. This problem was pretty common and in the later SC-V they replaced the dome midrages with the more conventional cone midrange drivers and I don't beleive thay had any further midrange driver failures. Dunlavys are a very well balanced speaker and an excellent value at current used prices.

I appreciate Fbhifi's comments on the the SC-V(s). I have a set of the earlier versions and had to replace the dome midrange drivers in one of the speakers. Amazingly, though, it was really simple to do and Madisound stocks the drivers. Overall, I'm still quite pleased with the performance of the speakers and they look (and sound) especially cool with the grills off.

I was listening again tonight and I never cease to be amazed at the soundstage these units produce in my living room.

Thanks again. There are different versions of the V's ? When J. Dunlavy released the latest version of these speakers, do you know (previously I simply read the specs and date of release on the Agon bluebook) ?

my V's were very early production units had no midrange problems whatsoever with mine

No more opinions from Dunlavy owners, especially for the SC V version ? Thanks
