Dunlavy types vs new technology

66.108.28.170

I have been reading quite a few of the posts on this site, and have arrived at a conclusion that their seems to be a gulf between speakers such as Dunlavy and Waveform (I know they are gone now)and speakers from companies seeking to place the newest technology into their designs such as Audio Physic and Merlin.

I think this is a very interesting contrast. On one side we have makers who very carefully make less expensive, less cutting edge, parts sound as close to real music as their ears and measuring devices can allow, and on the other side of the spectrum manufacturers work with large corporations (or in fact are large corps! ie Harmon, dynaudio etc)to develop brand new technologies that hopefully try to trancend what even the best designer can do with older technology.

A good example of two speakers which contrast in this way migh be the new Audio Physic Avanti III vs Dunlavy IV or Cantata.

Which side to you think is winning?
