Hi John:
I tend to agree that Duntechs are slightly better than DALs, model for model. However, I never heard them side by side. And I happen to own Duntechs, so, pride of ownership?
Based upon listening to DALs at dealers and several times at the CES (where John Dunlavy himself set them up), my impression has been that the Duntechs are more open sounding (surprisingly close to a monitor for a large floor standing cabinet) and have even lower colorations overlaid on the music. This could be respectively because of the stepped back baffle design on the Duntechs (more expensive to build and I do believe John became more cost conscious with his DALs) and higher quality drivers.
However, this is not intended as any sort of put down for the DAL speakers. I still consider them to be among the better designs and they too can offer some exceptional bargains on the used market.
This post is made possible by the generous support of people like you and our sponsors:
