Duntech

Duntech speakers are used as a reference in mastering suites like this.[1]

Duntech is an Australia-based professional audio loudspeaker manufacturer, researcher, and developer.[2] Their speakers are considered to be extremely high-end, audiophile-grade speakers, but they come with a very high price tag, as well.[3]

About

The company was started in Australia between 1981 and 1990 by the physicist John Dunlavy.[4][5][3] In the 1990s Dunlavy left Australia for Colorado, where he founded Dunlavy Audio Labs.[4]

The New York Times said the Duntech speaker "is distinguished by an extraordinary degree of what might be called sheer musicality."[3]

In 1987 the Duntech Sovereign 2001 cost around $15,000.[3][6] Additionally, they need a very large room to perform optimally.[7][8] However, other models range in price from $2000 to $30,000.[9] Duntech Statesman was one of 3 models at the lower end and more affordable.[10]

Duntech's Sovereign model line speakers are known for accurate sound reproduction.[11][12][13] The Sovereign C-7000 is a seven driver speaker system with two 12-inch woofers, two seven-inch midrange drivers, two two-inch tweeters, and one 3/4-inch supertweeter.[14]

Kiat Low in 2026 is still the owner of Duntech Audio in Australia and spoke to Not An Audiophile [15] about Duntech Audio, the sale of the brand and the revision of the Princess model for modern listening.
