DCM Time Window 7 - AMP & PREAMP

I’ve Found out that I’m the owner of 1 of only 200 pairs of DCM TW7 speakers ever made.
I am running 2 Carver A500x amps in mono block mode into these speakers. The speakers are rated at 700W max into 4 ohm. The Carvers in Mono Mode are 800W.

My question is …does anyone else have these speakers and what kind of amp are you using, and what are your thoughts on the DCM Time Window 7?
And to the Tube AMP experts I ask, how many watts would be appropriate for these speakers? They are efficient at 92DB, but they're still power hungry.

I am thinking of introducing a Tube PreAmp into my system and take the Denon out…any suggestions for something under 1k?

My system:
Denon AVR 3300, Emotiva XDA-1, Rotel 991 AE, (2x) Carver A 500x, DCM Time Window 7.

Thanks

Dfgkali,

There is a great thread on TW7's-- search for "Whatever happened to DCM's Steve Eberbach?" on the AVS forums. There is a guy there (Jamie Hauser) who not only owns a pair of 7s, he's probably one of the most knowledgable guys out there when it comes to sharing info about them (the only other person I'd consider more knowledgeable is the designer, Steve Eberbach, whom Jamie has talked to on numerous occasions regarding crossover design, rebuilding, etc).

Worth checking out.
