Dunlavy SC4 Speakers

Ok just got off the phone with the dealer and they have the exact tweeters for the SCIV's so that's a relief. The dealer even ordered an extra set for free since this deal has taken so long.

Dunlavy replaced the tweeters 3 different times because there were improvements to the dome and suspension from Vifa. There was no model call out on this that I was in formed about. I know this because I worked for a dealer in the early 90's and each time I replaced the old with the new. There was a slight improvement in sound. The Dunlavy's had mediocre parts selection at best. I had done extensive mods. The biggest difference was the replacement of the 3 cent resistors for Vishay resistor bridges. Now a days I would use the Duelund's which may be nearly as good in this application and would not have to be custom constructed.This up grade is staggering. John Dunlavy himself told me the resistors would make no difference. Tom

Tom, thanks for the update I will look into replacing the resistors as well.

I have no Dunlavy experience but I have purchased big heavy older speakers, like Model 5's, and it was a real hassle. Difficult to unpack, potential driver issues, packing again, expensive shipping.

I say be really careful and go less with value and more with how long you will be satisfied with them.

Best of luck.

Sorry to post again but I just want to emphasize the perception of value or worth vs. satisfaction. Especially with a big and heavy speaker.
