Attention: Dunlavy Audio Labs out of business

Lpgal, I would have a heart to heart talk with your dealer. Any reputable dealer would most likely give you effectively their profit margin back on the speakers. They should at least give you that amount in store credit.

Lpgal:
If your argument in court is going to be that your speakers now have lower resale value, and the dealer is responsible, so he should compensate you as a result, then don't bother.
Also, with your speakers retailing for about $9K, even if you were to win (on what grounds?) you would lose after attorneys fee's. Don't be surprised if your DAL dealer found out about the news at the same time as you. Also, warranty wise, you don't have much to worry about, not much can wrong, and DAL items can be bought through many sources. Give it a 3-6 months and someone else will probably buy DAL and revive it.

Its a sad day in Audio because Dunlavy made some of the best speakers IMHO.

LPgal,
Just enjoy your speakers. I have Cantatas and had the crossover upgraded with better parts. They sound twice as good. Dunlavy is one of the best sounds out there even though it isn't the most beautiful. Enjoy.

I seem to recall that JD himself retired a while back and sold the company to someone else. I suspect his company wasn't worth nearly as much without him there. But his speakers enjoyed a fine reputation, and I would think their resale value will hold up pretty well. ("A Classic! Cannot be bought in any store!")
