If you are opening your search, I have a lot of experience with the Dunlavys (Dunlavy is out of business, by the way).
The edge in dynamics that Sscot1961 reports for the Dunlavy SC-V is mostly due to the fact that it is the size and shape of a football player's coffin (great speaker, but HUGE).
The SC-I is an excellent monitor for the money, but has zero bass below 75 Hz.
The SC-II is much better and only a bit more costly on the used market.
I owned SC-III's for five years -- they are pretty much flat to 45 Hz. in all but big rooms and can go quite loud because each speaker has five drivers.
At the +/-$1,500 used price range, I think the Revel F-30 is more speaker (while they do a lot of things right, Dunlavy used cheap drivers and they fall short of the resolution and detailed presentation of the top speakers).
Good luck.
