Thank you guys, that was very kind of you.. It is also truly sad to hear that, since John Dunlavy was such a great guy and very known for his truly great speaker designs.
May my prayers go out to him and his family.
Thanks

Several years ago, I purchased a set of Dunlavy IV speakers. It was a huge leap of faith. I had never heard them and was spending way more than I ever could have imagined. When they arrived, we were in the mist of our spring farm work but my wife insisted we set them up.

We began to listen. We spent the rest of the day and most of the evening listening. Several times we both had tears streaming down our cheeks. The sound was so wonderful.

The following morning, I phoned the Dunlavy factory to tell them how happy we were with our purchase and John answered the phone. I was amazed at how excited he was for us. He had re-established my love of music.

Over the years, I spoke several times more with John. He always had time for me. I now own my third set of Dunlavy speakers (V) and love them. My original IVs are at a friends and still sound wonderful. Another friend has a set of Cantatas.

Rarely has anyone had so much of a positive effect on my life and my friends.

Thank you John.

Go easy my friend.

Since I'm on a work computer that has that website blocked, can anyone tell us what's going on? It's a little curt to just say someone's in trouble and there is a website that'll tell ya something about it.

Tomryan here's some, but once your able to get into site there's a little more to read once you click on each person's individual link.

I few weeks back I posted an inquiry about John Dunlavy. His daughter emailed me the following.
“Hello I read your posts on John Dunlavy and as his daughter, i wanted to let you know the status of him. At the moment he is alive but he is very sick and they do not give him much longer than a few days to live. My mom:Joan is holding on as best she can and taking care of him till the end.”

If you want additional information, you can e-mail me at this address or you can e-mail me at missingoz@yahoo.com

She also sent:

“Thank you so much I really appreciate it. As you can guess, it’s really hard on my mom. She is so busy taking care of dad that she does not keep up with the business side of things any more. I know that she would be very happy to know that dad is still impacting peoples lives.”

I am posting this information for those who may have been impacted by Mr. Dunlavy’s work. For those of you who have had a greater enjoyment of music because of Mr Dunlavy’s speakers and want to share those thoughts with Mr. Dunlavy’s family, it is appreciated in this time of sorrow. His daughter will forward any emails to the above address to her mom.

I don’t know Mr Dunlavy or his daughter personally but I thought this would be something compassionate to do for a fellow human being in a time of need. His daughter also did ask that anyone who may know the Dunlavy’s to please not call since her mom is getting very little sleep and she doesn’t want her rest interrupted by well wishers.

Thanks
Dave
