Transmission line speakers

Well,what brought this all about,was a friend of mine picked up some B&W DM2a's and sold them to me for $21.00
That's what he payed for them at a thrift store here in Seattle area.
These are a transmission line speaker, and are seriously built,they would rate a 5 on an Audiogon scale as the tops are beat a little and they're old! The woofers say 1975 dated.

The bass has no boom at all,and as pointed out the mids and high are clear,very clear. There seems to be a righness to the timing of them.The sound come at you like real time,hard for my to say it right...
They are also very dynamic in nature, I love them and want to seek out others like them,or better. They stomp all the speakers I have ever had.

I wish I could post photos of them like Audiokarma,you can see them there(under the same name).



Thanks for the suggestions,I will research them all.

If anyone know more to look into, I'm all ears.

Wow the PMC's look great! I wonder what they go for used..
I must look into this.. thanks!

"Rodman99999, for a very long time, I've struggled for the right term to describe the low frequency performance of a true TL loudspeaker. So far, I've yet to find it. Many folks seem to prefer "pitch", but that doesn't satisfy me, either."

I'm listening to Bob Dylan's Modern Times CD,and was reading comment Trelja's comments,and it dawned on me that one quality that comes through,that's unique, is bass depth.The bass is so clear that you actually get bass depth,and this recording has that.
This may add to the timing affect. Very cool.

Those PMC's are pricey,maybe eBay, used sometime...

I did read your post Rodman99999, thank you for the informative read. Sound like you have lots of experience is this dept. I wish I had a better room,I think it kind of keeps me set back some,watcha gonna do?
The DM2a's sound good in my room,so Im keeping them for awhile.
I'm enjoying my system more than ever. I'm much more aware of boomy(blase) bass.

I understand the Rega Ela is a TL.

Does anyone know if there any good?

Im trying!!Im JUmping!!!

Update
This very nice lady in Florida gave me her IMF TLS50's
Hard to believe,but true. They were the most expensive free speakers I ever had to ship!

$278 bucks worth...

I hope they get here in one piece.

I'll update my findings with these venerable speakers.

She was an original owner, who listens to classical,so that a big plus right there.
She was very insistent they be adopted by someone who would appreciate them.

I can hardly wait...

I got them,recapped them,sanded them,finished them.

WOW! is the word.

Ok,I finally put my system up, there's a picture of the IMF TSL50's, a nude pic..I'll try to put some others too.

The mk2 are better looking as they would have nice wood instead of the black paint, non-the-less a fantastic speaker...that I'm proud to own.

I'm thrilled with my hifi now! took long enough!!

I didn't think about Castle having T-lines,thanks

I still love my TLS 50's

My Accuphase P-300, C-200 combo is perfect for them.

I'm off the merry go round for awhile.

That's good because I'm out of work!

Continuing to try other TL's

I bought a pair of IMF TLS-80's local, and almost sold them. They don't like the Accuphase power amp for some reason.

When I hooked up my little NAD 3020a, they came alive, and man, are they something else too. A bit large though......talk about natural sound...
