I read the thread again and figured out what was bothering me. You
obviously mean Duntech, which you mentioned earlier?

**Correct. Duntech was owned by Dunlavy, before he started the company which
bore his name.

I am not familiar
with the Crown Prince (or Duntechs in general). Returning to the
originating post's spirit, how big/expensive is it?

expensive (approx US$5,000.00, in Australia) speaker.
