Description
These DCM Timewindows are the 1st & best iteration of this superb speaker, referred to as the DCM TW 1. Other versions followed, but this version is the original, and best made of the Timewindows...they were Loss Leaders. They have superb holographic qualities regard setting up a soundstage, and deliver a wide and deep audio picture. Yes, youll have to move them about a bit relative to your listening position to get the best from them, but its very, very much worth the effort, because when theyre spot on, the sound is absolutely fabulous. The1s were (sadly) replaced quite quickly by subsequent models which kept the same cabinets but changed internal components + drivers - end result, some of the magic was lost... The result was still a fantastic looking pair of speakers, but its generally agreed, not as sonically good as the original TW1s. That said, even later models are still considered very good. I have had this original 1s pair internally improved professionally (ex-BBC engineer) about 3yrs ago, that takes the speakers even further than the original 1s, by careful selection of better x-over components + much better grade internal wiring. Due to a power amp surge some years ago, I lost 2x mid bass drivers, a matter now resolved with the improved x-over). An extensive search and some time later & I found and bought 3x NOS original Timewindow 1 mid/bass drivers from a US dealer. 2x of the drivers are fitted, and theres one NOS mid/bass driver extra in this sale (just in case!) Without doubt, these upgraded speakers are superb performers, and I sold my Avalon Ascendants MK 1 once Id listened to this upgraded pair: I did miss the Ascendants admittedly better bass to begin with, but after a while it didnt matter as the DCMs overall approach was more natural, less pushed, and just sounded more right.... theyre also lovely pieces of furniture too - no WAF issues whatsoever! There are many top reviews on the web regard these speakers. Heres one to start you off - https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/review-dcm-timewindow-1-speaker When I originally bought these new from The Music Room in Glasgow they were around £800, but I recognise these are now vintage speakers, so my price is set realistically. Original boxes + packing is included. I did have a manual but cant find it at the moment: If I do, Ill include it. If not, there will be one online I imagine. I would very much prefer pick up, as these are quite tall speakers & heavy. I will however ship if youre willing to pay the cost of 2x heavy separate boxes getting to your location, insured. I would consider shipping to Europe, again if insurance is paid for. Please ask me for shipping/insurance quotes before bidding. I wont ship beyond UK/Europe (sorry). All shipping will be in the speakers original boxes, well packed out. Ill use a reputable courier, fully tracked + signed for delivery. I think youd have to pay many £thousands to attain this audio fidelity level if buying new today. All shipping quotes shown are estimates only - please ask before bidding! Any further questions, please get in touch. Thank you.
