Need Some Info Re Duntech Home Cinema System 100

[lifeislarge]

Good morning to all. I recently purchased a set of Duntech Home Cinema System 100 speakers and can't find any info on them at all. Set consists of (2) TH33's, (3) TH88's and (2) TH99 woofers. The woofers are confirmed as 8" Vifa and are being refoamed this week. The rest of the set is in mint condition. I've read a lot of history on Duntech and John Dunlevy, but can't for the life of me find anything on this series of speakers. Any idea of best configuration and value?

Wanted to finally finish this thread. After over two years I was finally contacted by the man responsible for these speakers coming into my possession.

Turns out that the Home Cinema Series 100 was a prototype made by Jack Davis of Duntech. It never went into full production due to board level disagreement. This set was brought to the US for the CES show in late 1995, early 1996, which Duntech pulled out of at the last minute.

I am the owner of a virtually "one off" set of Duntech speakers and have probably the only set to ever land in North America. Pretty frikkin neat. MSRP at the time was $7676 US for the set. I have the original spec sheets and the press release of these awesome things that never came to be.

I've had a pair of small Duntech PCL-15 minimonitors for ages and they're just about the best imaging speakers around there, the beauty of John Dunlavy's designs is that they all have the same signature, which is no signature at all, main difference is bass extension and how loud they go... All of them have ruler flat frequency plot and textbook impulse response.

I listened to mostly the full range from small monitors to the state of the art Sovereign... bigger models is big!!!
Shocking to realize how similar they are and if you play at low level even the downscale models are more or less the same musically satisfying as the upper level models !!!!!!
But when you crank the volume, it's a different story

One word of advice is that you really should play a lot with positioning as, in my experience, they're bears to setup and somehow they just don't seem to like 'close to frontwall' positioning
In one room I ended up with an insane positioning as being a very good one.... 8 feet from front wall and very close to sidewalls and with big angling, so the horizontal axis of speakers cross even in front of the listening position, crazy but true... Maybe these things is due to the way drivers are set up and the 1st order rollooff of drivers.

Your speakers may be very different though

They were all made in Salisbury right outaide Adelaide, South Australia, Duntech is still being made, now relocated to Sydney.

Enjoy and be patient with them, it will be rewarded

Here's my Duntech's, ugly as he## but beaty in music
