Americanflag: Once inside the speaker, you will be able to see where each clip is connected and how to remove and cut them. After which, you will twist together strands of the internal speaker wire and proceed with soldering to the connectors on the drivers. Since I had never done anything like this before, I had a friend who is an electronics serviceman perform the entire job. Incidentally, I have the improved, Signature version of the IVs. |
The entire line of speakers, from the SC-I through the SC-VI were "Signature". That's what the "SC" stood for in the entire line.... "Signature Collection" The only variant from this was the SC-IV versus the IVa, where the IVa was considered a different model and was actually sold side by side for a short period of time. A couple of the other models also went through minor driver changes during their manufacturing life span but no distinctions were made. The IVa was specifically different because it was so much more expensive than the IV and because it met Stereophile's demand of 20Hz in room response for class A "full range". |
Incidentally, in response to the original post, the most comprehensive source of information on the web concerning Dunlavy speakers can be found at the link below. It started off as a thread specifically comparing just one Dunlavy model to a pair of Legacy speakers. But it basically turned into the go to spot for a large number of Dunlavy enthusiasts. It's very long but there is a lot of information there. http://www.avsforum.com/t/1066470/legacy-whisper-dunlavy-sc-v-opinions |
Yes, there was(is) the SC-4 and the SC-4A. However, there were two versions of the SC-4 prior to the appearance of the 4A. The first had Morel woofers and what were called composite fabric tweeters. In 1995, John Dunlavy made some changes to the original SC-4s. He replaced the Morel woofers with Vifa woofers and the composite fabric tweeters with silk dome tweeters. To accommodate the change in tweeters, he also modified some of the crossover values between them and the midrange drivers. Finally, he strengthened both the internal bracing and binding posts of the 4s. |
