John Dunlavy may not be with us much longer.
John will surely be missed. Below is an article than ran in Stereophile back in August, 1996. Loudspeaker designer John Dunlavy: By the Numbers... . |
I met John at his factory several years ago when I was considering new speakers. He took virtually an entire afternoon to give me a tour, demo his speakers, etc.--a very gracious,intelligent and fascinating man. He pointed out that all his speakers sound the same except for differences in bass response. I ended up buying the Cantatas and still have no interest in changing. I've heard many others, but the Dunlavys just seem to get things right to my ears in a way that I have not heard bettered. I am greatly saddened by his passing |
I had two different pairs of his Sovereigns, a pair of the Black Knights, and several pairs of his wall speakers and the Thor subwoofer. I also once negatively reviewed his Standard Head Amps. He was an irascible but interesting guy. I very much enjoyed conversations with him although they were usually one sided. His big speakers were outstanding. A friend still has his and enjoys them everyday. He will be missed although I have not talked with him in at least 15 years. |
