The fact that the bass is clean is the reason that one think it is lacking. Poor setup is the real reason that the bass is really lacking, just like what I did. When you have the big Dunlavy 'floating' on thick carpet, you will not hear any bass at all. Setup affects midrange and treble too, when you sit too close to the speakers you will hear excessive treble just like JA did with the SC-IV/A follow up review (I have the TACT RCS 2.0 measurement to support this).My decision to purchase Dunlavy was mainly base on magazine review, especially the reviews of the SC-V and SC-VI. I didn't get a chance to audition the SC-V and SC-VI as no local dealer had them on display. The only model I ever auditioned before my purchase was the SC-IV, it was very impressive. My initial target was the SC-V or SC-VI, the SC-V was better on price performance. With the introduction of the SC-IV/A I was hoping Dunlavy would release a SC-V/A so I waited for the 1999 CES to see if Dunlavy would release anything new; soon after the CES Dunlavy's website had a new model called Millennium priced between the SC-V and SC-VI; after checking the specification I was very disappointed as it didn't seem to be a replacement for the SC-V. I wanted to fly to the Dunlavy factory and compare the models side by side but I was too busy at work and finally picked the Millennium for its better overall measured performance just like you did; I'm glad you proved my decision was a correct one.
My girl friend said the Millenniums are awesome, I almost flipped when I first saw them; hated their look (as your wife did); too bad DAL didn't offer Kevazinga at that time, mine is rosewood finished. I believe Kevazinga would make them look much better.
I don't know anyone else who owns a pair. One of my friend was very excited when he first saw my Millenniums, he had a speaker in his dream which happen to be of the same shape as the Millenniums. He was completely blown away by the Millenniums, if he got the bucks he would probably buy a pair.
