Dunlavy SC4 Speakers

I've been an SC-4(not 4A)owner for over 17 years. An almost exclusively classical music listener, I've never been less than satisfied with its bass performance. I've also heard some others refer to the SC-4s as being bright. With the right room setup and associated equipment, this is not an issue...Incidentally, list price for the SC-4s was $5000. List price for the 4A was $8500, not $10,000 as Rja asserts.

Sorry, correction: SC-4A in oak only was approx. $8000; in rosewood or cherry, approx. $8500.

SC stood for signature collection. The original SC-IV's had Morel 10 inch woofers. There was a switch to a version with 10 inch Vifa woofers which is what I owned and was the version most reviewed. I was told by Dunlavy the switch was done because the Morel's had to much variability in sample to sample response. The Vifa mids were improved also..I was supplied those mids as well as improved Vifa tweets along the way. With all those additional changes the speaker was still the IV. The IVa designation came about when the switch was made from Vifa 10's to the Scanspeak drivers. Tom

Opus88,
I paid $4000 for the IV new and $8250 for the IVAs. I am not contending this, I am stating fact. The IVs were black, the IVAs are natural oak color.

Opus88, when you say "as Rja asserts" it sounds accusatory. Why would I make this up? As far as I know Dunlavy prices did not remain constant.
