News Updates / The new Dunlavy/Duntech Archiv...
Last post by Tranquility Bass - January 03, 2024, 09:24:41 AM
This forum was created in remembrance of the late John Dunlavy and his contribution to both the art and science of audio reproduction which has lived on in many of the loudspeaker systems that he created over the decades and are still being used today. Not only that many of the original concepts developed by John Dunlavy such as baffle felt have been used by many other speaker designers with little or no credit given back to John.

News Updates / We are moving to new premises ...
Last post by Tranquility Bass - January 01, 2024, 10:06:49 AM
We have moved to much larger new premises in the last month which has been a mammoth task. Now need to unpack everything and set up the lab again. Now we have twice as much area as before and no more distractions which has put us out of action for quite a while now :(

Cantata / Re: Model Information
Last post by Tranquility Bass - November 26, 2023, 10:59:05 AM
From Retearl of OzHifi.net

QuoteI have a pair of Cantatas & they are magnificent in my 25x40 ft room. They were a gift to me from John Dunlavy's daughter here in Colorado Springs. They were the ones he took home when he sold the company & retired. They will always be special to me since I have been a John Dunlavy admirer since he started the company here. He was likely the most talented scientist & engineer who has ever designed speakers! Truly! 30 years later, they can hold their own against ANY other speaker for accuracy & realism. I'm a blessed man!

The Dark Room / Re: DEQX early access USD12995...
Last post by Tranquility Bass - November 17, 2023, 09:01:40 PM
Did anyone bother to look behind this new DEQX Pre-8 at the recent stereonet audio show ? Perhaps you would have seen something similar to this where the 8-channel outputs were not in use and the box was just a glorified streamer. Wonder what the stereonet show guide said ;) BTW has anyone taken the lid off ?

From the latest stereonet show report !! Looks like a rehash of last years show with still nothing finished :(

QuoteAttendees to this room were shown a range of new and old products. DEQX products are designed and developed in Australia as the cutting edge in digital signal processing. All were fixated on Kim Ryrie's explanation of what the DEQX system was designed to do (interview coming soon to our YouTube channel), who captivated his audience with a simple explanation of complex electrical engineering. The new Pre-8 series of processing hardware was on display in its elegant metal casework, and with the streamer section working, but DEQX was using the currently available Gen3 software and hardware platform for the DSP work. We are told that the final production units are almost ready to begin shipping, pending some final bug fixes.

A slim vertical 3-way loudspeaker without a passive crossover speaker system sat on stands with a subwoofer on either side of them. This was being transformed into a fully active time-aligned 4-way system driven by DEQX amplification. The Pre8 is a totally unique product as it features a full preamp with streamer, DAC and a NAS and phono amplifier, as well as the 4th generation DEQX brains. Sonically, the DEQX system had an effortless sound to it. Bass was taut and substantial, and provided a detailed midband with subtle treble without glare, and all this from within a hotel room. We look forward to the finished product based on what has been heard and seen from pre-production samples.

Gen-3 hardware  = 1st gen SHARC DSP aka ADSP-21065L :D LOL

And this from a facebook feed that I subscribe to. Note the comment below it. You just can't make this stuff up :D LOL
