DCM TF-400 info wanted


I just picked a set of these up from our local CL. Guy said he was the original owner and they appear to be in excellent condition, although I haven't had a chance to hook them up yet.

I remember hearing about these years ago, but have very little knowledge of the speakers so I wanted to see if any of you are familiar with these and if so, I'd appreciate any info you can provide, i.e. when they were made, good equipment matches, etc. In general just wanting to find out what I can about the speakers.

Thanks.

I don't have the TF400s, but I do own a pair of TF600s that also got off CL. They are mirror-imaged with the logos on the inside. The main drivers are also both on the inside. I did a lot of research before I picked them up. Audiokarma has a number of threads on DCM speakers, including an active one right now about TF400s. The mother of all DCM threads is one on the AVSforum though. A google search with " Steve Eberbach" and "DCM" will bring it up. All of the Eberbach designed DCM speakers seem to be very well thought of by owners.
I also found it curious that your speakers seemed to have a different driver placement. But looking at the manual for the TF400 Series 2 it indicates that the drivers are, in fact, asymmetrically placed on that particular model. So I think you do have correctly matching speakers. You could also take a look at the serial numbers to confirm they are consecutive. Anyway, hope that helps and enjoy! I really dig my 600s and think they're very well-designed.
