DCM Time WIndow Identification Help


Hello - I just purchased a used pair of DCM Time Window speakers, but I’m having a heckuva time finding which model they are. They have the traditional TW cabinet design, but the top "rounded" portion is actually made from a series of angled polygon straight edges - see pics. 36 inches tall, 12.5 inches wide. Owner said he’d purchased them new in 1994. Any help would be appreciated. They sound terrific, by the way. He had the woofers re-edged a few years back.https://imgpile.com/p/ygHgoRw#2QoBFEOhttps://imgpile.com/p/ygHgoRw#fLTddCl

"The tops and bottoms are wrong. So are the back speaker inputs. I hope you didn’t pay too much for them!"

No, mine are not pirated DCMs, they were made by the brother who stayed in South Africa and made them there for a period of time under the ARD name.
The famous Time Windows were designed by two final year engineering students at Wits University, Johannesburg, in the early 70s. One of the guys (his name escapes me) went to live in America where he launched the DCM speaker company with the Time Windows. The other guy, Hans-Joachim Fabianek stayed in SA, settling in a small coastal city called East London from where he built these beautiful speakers, and a few other models, under the name ARD.

Very nice! I owned them in 1981 & they had curved top & bottom plates along the back side & standard binding posts for cable connections. They were fun, quite dynamic, pretty detailed w/ a big sound stage if you raised them off the floor about 10 inches. I drove them w/ a pair of strapped to mono Hafler DH 200 power amps I built from kits along w/ a db Systems pre amp & Thorens 160 Super table.
