Do you own Dunlavy SC-IV's AND a yardstick ???

If you do, could you PLEASE do me a favor ? I need to know some info for a project that my brother and i are working on.

We would like to know the following info:

What is the distance from the floor to the appr center of the tweeter ?

What is the distance from the appr center of the tweeter to the appr center of the mids ?

What is the distance from the appr center of the tweeter to the appr center of the woofers ?

I am assuming that the distance from the tweeter to the top woofer is identical to that of the lower woofer. If it isn't, how much are they offset by ?

If we can get this information, it will get us in the ballpark and we can "fine tune" for our specific situation from there. I would be greatly obliged to anyone that can provide me with close measurements. All i ask is that you be VERY careful when taking these measurements. Sean

Sean, having read mst of the posts you have here, I guess it is fair to do my share to the community.

I have my speakers tucked away and these are the best I can do at this time which I think is fairly accurate.

1. approx 94-95cm
2. 16cm
3. 50cm

Hope thi s helps. If you think it is not good enough, email me and I will remeasure it for you.

Sean are you needing measurements with the Dunlavy speakers attached to their original bases and resting atop the flooring? I have my SC4's sans original bases resting upon Sistrum SP101's. With these large bases I can vertically and horizontially align the speakers left and right so they will have identical wave launch to my listening position. Sean, I feel having the tweeters about 1/2 inch above the opening of my ear gives me the best in frequency balance and musicality. These speakers are problematic in the bass range. Having two identical woofers with the same crossover point and dissimilar distances to the floor and ceiling boundaries takes much time and effort to converge. I have found ways to minimize this difference in room loading effect. Tom

Sean, I have my IVa speakers without the original bases set on Arios pros and BDR pucks 2 1/8" off the floor, my tweeter is 37" off the floor.
