First, let me say that your system looks great on paper. I also have the Dunlavy SC-Vs and have had great success. The thing, though, that has really made the system special has been the tweeks. The speakers have benefited from the use of Marigo dots, Orchard Bay spikes and vertically biamped speaker wire from Audio Magic. When we built the house we put in a dedicated wiring loop to the system. I also believe that some the newer power conditioners/ regenerators also can really help and I especially like the CD tweeks from Mapleshade. Good luck- Dan
