Steve,You impress me as an exceptionally acute listener. As one who has spent many an hour in front of the original SC-IV, I can tell you that this unit's tweeter is indeed its weakness.
That's not to say it's a weakness that cannot be dealt with, by the by.
This speaker will unfold its particular glories best when tethered to fine tubular amplification. However, hook it up to solid state and you're in for a "relentlessly revealing" listening session which will, as you noted, prove quickly fatiguing.The reason for this is revealed quickly and obviously by listening to white noise. The speaker exhibits a bit of roughness in the upper midrange. This range almost "protrudes" through the sonic fabric.
Careful amplifier matching is a must. But the effort is worth it in my opinion. For the Dunlavy can sound truly superb.
Cheers.
