The SC-IVA is the speaker I had my sights set on for quite a while. Now that they're gone, can anyone suggest any alternatives I should look into. I really liked the soundstaging, imaging, and bass response?
I'll second that except that the Thiels give a much larger sweetspot. The Thiel CS7.2 is the best I have ever heard and I have heard many high (extremely high) dollar systems. I think that the Revels and B&Ws are very "sterile" in comparison. I'm not saying that people who love these are wrong - just that it is a purely personal choice.
I was going to buy the Dunlavy SC-IVA as well. But when I heard the Vienna Acoustic Mahler I was very impressed and bought them. Smooth across the entire frequency range, great bass and a big 3-D soundstage with a very musical slightly warm sound. They are very nice to look at and fit into a home setting better than the big Dunlavys.
Piega 10's,c-10ltds. I owned the iv's,iva's and the v's. In my room the piega's were a major upgrade in clarity,midrange,treble,and tighter bass. Need I say more
seems to me now is the time to buy a pair of IVa's. Since the shop went south some of the Dunlavy the prices i've seen on this site have gone to silly cheap levels. Bad business practices don't change the quality of a speaker but some folks seem to think so and want to unlaod them.
