howze Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Am now a happy duntech owner, after admiring them for years since i first saw them I didn't think I'd own them as soon as I have nor did I think theyd be the marquis. Looking forward to replacing the grill cloth and refinishing the cabinets to bring them back to there former glory. A big thanks to @LWA Staff for being such a great place to buy from and @Grizzly for the transport help. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christosd Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Congrats. What amp are you going yo drive them with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howze Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 An anthem 225, if anyone from s.a. wants a listen there more than welcome. Certainly not the best room setup for them I imagine though and really only space for like me and 2 other unfortunately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christosd Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 I really enjoy listening to others' Hifi journey whilst mine languishes in the midst of ME servicing and renovations. I'll have to find the time to pop in sometime soon. There are situations where a smallish room can work with particular speakers so I hope it comes together well for you. I have just closed off my room to an adjoining staircase by putting in a small stud wall and a glass door and it has been one of the best upgrades to my mid range I've had in ages! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These things also will become sublime with better and more powerful amplification. Remember to get your mains done if you havent already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howze Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Being sealed they work quite well in my smallish room which is good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vur Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Good on you. Here's a simple theoretical positioning tip to try if practical for smooth low frequ. response (we KNOW the higher frequencies are "perfect"). Measure your walls and position the speaker fronts at 1/3 or 1/5 or both of those along and in from the walls. Wow that looks like a huge sub in the corner.

christosd Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 I spent quite some time with slightly bigger CP Dunnies in what was 'recommended' spacing off side and front wall. It wasn't until I threw all of that stuff out the window and I used measurements below 200 Hz and my ears for everything else that I really got somewhere. One rule you must follow with mine is that the listening distance must be 3.5m. I currently run mine in an unorthodox setup where they are quite close to the corners of the room but it sounds best that way to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So even if there only 2.5m apart try to get 3.5m back from them if possible. Currently just doing the whole even triangle thing which sound great 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guzzista Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 I have the great pleasure of owning a pair of Duntech DSM-15’s for many years and run some very flat and discerning amplification. recently I was invited to the Duntech listening room to "interview" the new Senator's and as a result they are on my shopping list as an upgrade from the DSM’s. In my experience they are “critical” and at the same time convey emotions and clarity not dissimilar to my DSM’s though of course with deeper and tighter bass notes. As one would expect from Duntech sound reproduction is impeccable and the off axis placement of each speaker produces an amazing sound stage, in fact these speakers are very revealing of bad recording production. I can see my record and CD collection being divided even more so into categories of “bad, good and excellent”! I do like the pair of outboard crossovers, they are beautifully detailed and finished and a very high quality build, though I think mine will be resting on a set of Mecado's and a basalt slab..... 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't agree more. I visited Kiat's listening Duntech showroom, and I was sold immediately on both the new Duntech Senator and Princess (was a proud Duntech Marquis owner for 10 years). I bought the new Senator- I couldn't be happier with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Audiophile Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 (edited) Pictures of my own new Duntech Senators. Rock solid exquisite build quality! What could I say, phenomenal attention to detail. Locally build in Sydney. Stainless steel base CNC machined out of a solid block. Heavy a rock, absolutely no expense spared.
