In Reply to: Yes, especially his Duntech speakers which I believed surpassed his Dunlavy speakers. posted by three_sox on May 19, 2015 at 04:17:17:
Yes, I consider his DAL models to be very fine designs. But from a few conversations I was fortunate to have with John, I believe he did cut costs when he returned to the US and opened DAL. Two obvious examples - the cabinet designs were simplified by eliminating the cut back sides which allowed less diffraction in his Duntech models, and he began using less expensive drivers. For those not aware of this history he came back to begin building speakers in the US to be more price competitive. The air freight from Oz for the very large and heavy Duntechs to the US was a significant penalty.
Interestingly, a few years ago John Marks reported in Stereophile that Sony went to the trouble and expense to import a current pair of Duntech Princess speakers from Oz for one of their monitoring studios in NYC. There has not been a US distributor for more than a decade, though sales continue in other parts of the world.
Personal disclaimer - I owned Duntech Princess speakers for 19 years, far longer than any other model. So yes, I am a little biased.
