Dunlavy SC4 Speakers

Does anyone know what the value of a used set of Dunlavy SC4 speakers would be? These are the original SC4's early run I believe. The reason for the question is that I have a line on a set and I'm willing to pay fair market value which often is determined by a speakers popularity and not actual worth. I'm trying to determine a base line price with the seller without out getting into these are the best speakers ever made and that makes them worth a million bucks!

Thanks!

I agree, you need to be at least 8 to 10 feet away for the best driver integration (when you're listening from your listening seat, as opposed to elsewhere). Best not to movbe everything around, in my view.

The measurement is from ear to speaker, not from ear to center of the triangle baseline. You can have the listening position directly in front of the opposing wall, if, and only if you have an appropriate amount of absorptive material directly behind the listening position. I suggest you do some measurements before moving everything around.

Thanks Unsound. I will do some more measurements. if I set them 10ft. apart on the long wall that would then give me
roughly 8.5 to 9ft from ear to speaker wondering if that will be enough to allow the drivers to properly blend?

If you could set them up about 12' apart from center of tweeter to center of tweeter, about 2' from the long wall behind them, that would be even better. Do remember to toe them in. It appears you might be in the ball park after all. To avoid comb filtering effects, be sure to use absorptive material behind the listening position. Such a setup should even out bass response (typically the biggest challenge) and help imaging.

The drivers are matched well enough you can go more than 12' without losing anything. Toe the speakers in so you can only see a sliver of the inside of the cabinet. Lose the spikes and don't bother with bi-wiring.
