DCM Time Window 1 questions

I think Viridian pretty much nailed the sound and average used price.

I have a very early pair of Time Windows. The value will depend on the condition of the drivers - they are a pain to get the cloth off and back on. You should be able to buy a perfect pair for $200-$300. I'm currently running them with 100wpc...but have used as little as 40wpc. I wouldn't worry too much about power, but anything less than 30wpc won't allow them to sing.

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.

I agree with Viridian, when I had mine I found them very smooth and likeable, but they just simply are not worth alot of money.

This is an old thread! I am now using my third pair of TWs. I had two pairs in the late '70s- early '80s. The present pair (52779, 52780) cost $219 + shipping. They sold for $1200 new. I am using a BEL 1001 amp with them. 50wpc Class A. The TWs arrived in like-new condition! Sound quality of this amp/speaker combination is competitive with gear costing five figures! The TWs still remain a top-rung speaker!
