salamat kabayan,

thank you very much jayson for your input. i corresponded w/ duntech and they were very helpful.the company is very much alive but keeping a low profile and they are introducing a new line of speakers.is it possible for you to e mail the serial no. of your speakers.by the way i posted my system in www.stereopal .com see under audiophile home visit its under my name.maybe you can post your system there also.

hope to hear from you soon jayson,

kumusta po kayo, my room is almost same as yours (19'x12'x9') but im using the 12' wall for my setup. the princess has a very good tonal balance as long as it's far away from the back. the duntech's basically advice to have no side walls when positioning the speakers. i haven't tried it. i put some acoustic treatment on my side walls as well to control the bass response. i advice that you use the 17' wall as your reference. over power the room? yes! as long as you listen to high volume level. 9 to 10'oc is enough (IMO) and will give you a good image, big soundstage, fine details, very good bass weight, and a transparent mid range. that's what i'm hearing on my system as i'm using an all tube system.
your amps are enough to drive the speakers (except ARC D79B 75w/ch-speakers require atleast 100w), they're pretty efficient.
i bought mine less than $3000 but i guess you're right that it's very rare to find it in pinas.
the speakers are true classics and still on the market right now. i think a lot of professional studios are using this speakers as they are using dynaudio drivers.
i would say go for it as we all quest for the best sounding equipment! goodluck

jayson,

lm a fellow filipino but im based in the phillippines. am also contemplating in buying a duntech princess.whats the size of your room mine is 17x12x7ft.do you think the speakers will over power my room? i will be driving them using the foll. amps ARC D79B 75w/ch,ARC D250mk 2 servo, ARC classic 150 monoblocks 140w /ch. hope you can help me before i take the plunge to buy these duntechs.the princess cost $4000 here in the philippines and very rare.

Talk about a change..... Well done, nice job all around, nice mix of components. Listen to the feedback here, but then sit back and listen..... that is what the fetish is about...

System edited: i just got my audio note cdt-2 transport (atlast for a long time searching for a very good trans). it's worth for the price. a remarkable change in my system. also 4 ref powercords for all my rigs which makes music more alive maybe bec of the proper current delivered (that's what i think)....

Ang lupet ng set-up mo Sonjay! It seems that you were badly bitten by the AP bug!(just like your Dad huh?) :) Your Tito Rommel told me about your post here in gon. I'm pretty sure I'll be seeing some upgrades later if not sooner! Good luck on searching for the ultimate sound!

thanks! i'm planning to put (1) 2x4's (auralex) foam panels on each side of the wall adjacent to speakers for sound treatment, i notice that sound bounces everywhere, i'll try to minimize that. but putting rag is the simpliest way to do it.

Looks to be a great start, try throwing a blanket over the TV when listening to music, the detail will improve greatly.
