Duntech Viscount


Anyone have info or experiences with the Duntech Viscounts that they can share? Discontinued floorstanding 2-ways I believe. Would love to know their spec's, etc., Duntech were unable to help via email.

Audio magazine annual directory issue of October, 1990:
Two 8 inch woofers, One dome tweeter. Closed box (no port).
Called PCL-200 model by Duntech. (Presume use of D'Appolito configuration routinely favored by the designer, John Dunlavy.)
45Hz - 20 KHz (+/- not specified). Bass in a room subjectfully much deeper than implied by the specs as attested by this long term owner of Duntech monitors using two even smaller woofers.
93dB efficient, with 50 watts per channel minimum recommended.
Crossover frequency 500 Hz
Impedence 4 Ohms
Weight per speaker 85 lbs, and oak wood construction.
List price $2,500 per pair.
Almost forgot to inquire whether you have located a pair for sale. Duntech was known primarily for their very tall, more imposing, floor-standing speakers. Still, these smaller, four feet tall speakers represent their brand name proudly.

Just got a a pair second hand in lovely condition , very accurate sound stage , does need a powerful amp though i would recommend 150wpc or greater to take control plus a sub woofer to flesh out the low end and your one happy camper , REL T series sub will fit the bill nicely depending on room size . I am a big fan of both REL and JM ACOUSTICS sub woofers.
Steam3642,
Congratulations on your find.
Which sub did you decide to use and where in your room is it placed to provide the low end extension that blends unobtrusively?
Hi Listener57
It's been over a year now and am just getting on with the sub woofer for the Duntech Viscount , this was due to both my parents passing away in the past 12 months due to illness.
At this stage i will be going for the M.J.Acoustics Pro -50Mk2
One for each channel, very similar in sound to the Rel T series i auditioned at the time of purchasing the Duntechs.
The Duntech Viscount is a very accurate monitor 4ohm 500w design , just needs the low end fleshed and for them to sound right. Will report back soon as i should have them by the 17th of this month and once again sorry for the delayed reply.
