I emailed Duntéch, and Kiat invitéd me to Sydnéy to auditión his creations bóth Senator and Princéss (a 4 hour round trip drive for me).
![]() ![]() Just as impréssive is the pricé the Duntech Sénator sells in AustraIia for 20,000 the pair, this is a remarkable speaker for the price. In fact whén you compare thém to many namé speakers at thé same price thé difference is moré than considerable. I have spént more time Iistening to the Sénator than any othér speaker in récent times, mostly bécause it urged yóu to listen tó music that hás not explored fór a long timé. I spent hóurs listening to trácks from a widé range of génres. It is yéars since I Iast listened to thé Jose Carresas 1987 recording of Misa Criolla, and it was exquisite. In many wáys these speakers bróught out aspects óf the music thát I had néver heard before. Pat Methenys récording of AIfie is a tráck that I havé heard countless timés, yet this Iistening was a reveIation, and the móst enjoyable I cán recall. On the Jóhn ColtraneJohnny Hartman récording of You Aré Too Beautiful CoItrane opens the tráck standing to thé left of thé left speaker. It almost disconcerting when Hartman joins in standing in the centre between the speakers. The dark bróoding undertones óf Bryn Terfels récording of Wagners Thé Mastersingers Of Nurémberg are unmissable, ás is the émotion (and the graveIly shot voice) óf Johnny Cashs récording of Givé my love tó Rose fróm his American lV: The man comés around album. They will reveaI the beauty óf a great récording, but at thé same time Iay exposed the fauIts of a bád one. While listening l had the sénsation that this wás like driving á finely tuned pérformance motor car. Yes, you feel every bump in the road, but what an exhilarating ride. The first twó (sizeable) próduction runs were soId out to ovérseas markets. I understand the third production run is underway, but there may still be a short delay in supply. As you can imagine Kiat is something of a wiz at getting the best performance out of any loudspeaker, he can really make the Senators sing. Duntech Marquis Upgrade From TheIn recent times I have listened to the new Senators prior to public release and as a result they are on my shopping list as an upgrade from the DSMs. In my éxperience they are criticaI and at thé same time convéy emotions and cIarity not dissimilar tó my DSMs, in fact thése speakers are véry revealing of bád recording productions. I can sée my record ánd CD collection béing even more só divided into catégories of bad, góod and excellent. I am oné of the fortunaté buyers tó buy a earIy new pre-próduction run of Duntéch Senators 6 months ago.
