Dunlavy SC IVa or B&W 802

How big is your room?

Maybe it's just me, but, when I think of speaker size I tend to limit the process to footprint, stability and required distance from surrounding walls and to the listening position.

both are reference, but the dunlavy's are 'classic'.

The most amazing thing about the Dunlavy is the fact that once they are dialed in (not a simple feat) those monsters simply disappear! I still sit in amazement how nothing appears to come from the two 6' behemoths sitting in my room. Very cool!

I fully agree with JD. Once you get the Dunlavys set up properly, they throw an amazing three dimentional sound stage. In my room, they have bested speakers costing 6 times as much. At their current prices, these speakers are a steal. Do youself a favor and jump on them.

By the way, we use our Dunlavy Vs for movies as well and we never miss the center channel.
