John Dunlavy may not be with us much longer.

I met John back in the 90's. Both he and his wife were very gracious to me. He even took me into a locked room that only he had a key to, not even his employees. There were some "interesting" things he was into beyond speakers. Sometimes you can just feel when you are in the presence of somebody special. I certainly did that day. I will miss him.

Gernot, what is the newer model better than the w/puppy8

Pataldorr: The newer model is called Duntech DSM-15. I listened to it in the factory in Sydney in August 06. Not really expensive amplification/cables. One of the 10 best speakers I ever auditioned in 20 years, the size is similar to the Wilson W/P. Retail prize approx. 11,000 Aussie $, so probably 8,000 USD here. I will wait for the new Sovereign coming out in 2009. The new Princess is next, positioned in between the two speakers mentioned. I auditioned several versions of the W/P over the years, a few weeks ago the 8 in New Jersey with big amps. They are good but price performance is a problem.

thanks gernot.pat

A pair of Duntech Sovereign's turned up on local Craigslist. I hadn't seen or heard about John Dunlavy in years, so I thought I would do some research. I worked with he and Jim Fosgate on the Fosgate Audionics 5.1 Systems (later Citation). Amazing acoustician, scientist (antenna's), I learned alot from him.
