Duntech Crown princess Floorstanding Loudspeakers Typo - Crown Princes - not princess - my apologies No offers - this is the price or I won’t sell - I really don’t want to sell - but I think sensibly they need to be in a larger space - or at least a similar dedicated space - I have to face reality - downsizing to a duplex requires a change in direction - but I don’t need to rushAdded pics of drivers taken approx 12 months ago attached- happy to remove socks for inspection on confirmation of intention to purchase and audition Condition: Excellent Payment Method: Cash Region/State: (SA) South Au
At A$6,000, this looks fair to strong for a pair of Duntech Princess speakers in excellent condition, especially given how large, heavy, and niche they are; without a tight recent Australian comp set, I’d treat it as a reasonable market-level ask rather than an obvious bargain. The model’s pedigree is real, and Duntech itself describes the Princess as a flagship-level design built around accuracy, with each cabinet weighing 140 kg, which helps explain why well-kept examples tend to hold interest among serious listeners.
What makes it worth chasing is the combination of scale, refinement, and rarity: these are not generic old towers, but a statement speaker from a respected Australian brand, and clean examples are the kind you buy for long-term enjoyment rather than flip value. If the cabinets, drivers, and grilles are original and the pair has been cared for, this is a sensible buy for someone with the room, amplification, and patience to move them properly.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Duntech Audio traces its origins to John Dunlavy, who founded the company in Dallas, Texas in the late 1970s as Audio Standards before it became Duntech Audio. In 1981, the entire operation relocated to Adelaide, South Australia, where it established itself as a privately held, wholly Australian-owned corporation. The company's early history included expertise in antenna systems dating back to 1963, knowledge that informed its transition into high-end loudspeaker design. The company's first wall-mounted loudspeaker entered production in 1982, claimed as the world's first full-range, audiophile-quality design of its kind.
Duntech specializes exclusively in loudspeakers, positioning itself firmly in the ultra-premium segment. The brand gained international recognition with its flagship Sovereign 2001 loudspeaker, introduced in 1986 and retailing at $15,000 per pair. These towering, sealed-box designs became known for their time and phase coherence, earning praise from audio experts for reproduction described as "the closest approximation to the live musical event." The company's design philosophy emphasizes precision engineering and acoustic purity over conventional approaches.
Today, Duntech occupies a niche position as a boutique high-end manufacturer with significant collector and enthusiast appeal. Under current ownership since 2004, the brand has continued producing legacy Sovereign models while developing new designs including the Senator and Princess loudspeaker systems. Duntech maintains its reputation for uncompromising engineering standards and remains respected among discerning audiophiles who prioritize acoustic accuracy and heritage craftsmanship over mass-market accessibility.
