Rja...I'm sorry you interpreted my comments as accusatory. That certainly was not on my mind when I made them, nor did I feel you were "[making]this up". Indeed, as you state, prices may not have remained constant. I paid $5000 list for my IVs, and I knew one other fellow who paid the same for his. In his review of the SC-4s, Stereophile writer Robert E. Greene also indicated they were priced at $4995. Do you recall if you purchased your pair at a discount or did the dealer indicate $4000 was the list price? In any event, it's not terribly important. What is, is that we seem to have shared in common the enjoyment these speakers have given us. I've never had the opportunity to hear the IVAs. Would love to, but guess I'll have to continue "to settle" for the IVs. The only thing that might cause me to give them up would be my moving to a smaller place, which would compel me to downsize my speakers as well. My best wishes for your continued enjoyment of your Dunlavy SC-4As !
