DCM Time Window 1 questions


I am considering purchasing a pair of DCM Time Window 1 speakers (circa 1980), and I am wondering:

-what would be a reasonable price for a pair in excellent condition?

-what would be the absolute minimum amplifier watts per channel to get good sound from them?

-how would these compare in audio quality to a set of well-made but inexpensive speakers with current technology?

Thanks for any input-

I owned a pair purchased in 1980 for $660. They had a slightly colored midrange that could be improved by raising them on 9 inch stands. One manufacturer sold wrought iron stands that were formed to fit the uniquely shaped base of the speaker.

They used modified Philips tweeters and received a good review in The $ensible Sound as being smooth with good imaging.

I would think good inexpensive speakers today would sound brighter in the treble, but the TW's would still sound enjoyable.
