Anyone compare Dunlavy vs Aerial

I had been debating between Aerial 7b's and Proac 2.5 (3.8's too big) - but someone has offered me a pair of Dunlavy SCIV's at a great price. I have no way to a/b them all. Can anyone offer me an opinion about which way to go? I am limited in power to a 40wpc amp (Stax DA-80). Thanks!

Whoever told you that you need a big amp to drive the Dunlavy's was incorrect...nor is it a difficult load to drive. About 4 to 5 ohms. While bigger amps are better, I have a friend who drives Sc_IV's with 30 watts and they are outstanding.

I am using Aloia's for Dunlavy V in a vertical Bi-amp. They are rated at 30 watts and they control these speakers. I'm not sure that this rating is correct. Does anyone know?

I've heard the rating is very conservative and that they might actually be about 75 watts.Snook what else do you have in your system? I just got the Aloia and am getting the Cantatas .Also just got the new Legend Audio line conditioner.Any recommendations for a cd player?

Khaki Check out the Audiomeca cd player. I am using the Audiomeca Mephisto Transport and Muse 296 dac. I will be checking out the Audiomeca dac in the future. Little pricey for both but killer sound
