fini Posted March 7, 2002 Share Posted March 7, 2002 Well, you really never know what you're going to run into at the ol' thrift shop. Yesterday's curiosity was a pair of these speakers, made by DCM, in Ann Arbor, MI. Odd looking towers, with grille cloth all around. I don't know the terminology for this kind of speaker. It didn't look like the grille came off (easily), so I'm not sure what"s inside. Here's DCM's website: http://www.dcmspeakers.com/ If you click on the Archive, you can find the Instruction manual for the TF 350. Since the current line-up of DCM speakers is available at Circuit City, I'm guessing the TF 350's may not be worthy of fini's speaker museum, but I didn't listen to 'em. Here's a current pair on eBay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1335837836 Did any of these speakers make it out of Michigan? fini Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougdrake2 Posted March 7, 2002 Share Posted March 7, 2002 Fini - A friend of mine had a pair of these (or were they Time Windows - Frames, Windows, Sliding Doors; who can keep them straight?) in the mid-80's. They sounded nice, but to me didn't have the clarity and openness of my beloved Klipsch. They remind me, in their appearance, of some Vandersteen and Def Tech designs, with a grill wrapped all the way around them. If it were me, I would give the museum floorspace to something more special...

fini Posted March 7, 2002 Author Share Posted March 7, 2002 Very well, but I was thinking, if they're good enough for the Argus Planetarium... http://aaps.k12.mi.us/drummer/dd6-99_planetarium.html fini Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T2K Posted March 7, 2002 Share Posted March 7, 2002 I owned apair of them.In fact I still own them.Someone else is using them though.Pretty highly regarded in their time,and their time wasn't very long ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fini Posted March 7, 2002 Author Share Posted March 7, 2002 Keith- If it's worth, maybe, 80 bucks, I could maybe pick 'em up for you, and you could make your own planetarium... Thanks for all your help, Keith!! fini Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T2K Posted March 8, 2002 Share Posted March 8, 2002 Tried to tell fini, mdeneen. Even told him where to look for clues. I understand the LST's are pretty rare. Keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fini Posted March 8, 2002 Author Share Posted March 8, 2002 I musta had my head up my AR's. fini Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clipped and Shorn Posted March 8, 2002 Share Posted March 8, 2002 fini, I saw those at the SA yesterday, but as usual just glossed over them. There wasn't any obvious ID and I couldn't see inside and I thought nice for the kitty to scratch on....etc. Did you actually get them?

fini Posted March 8, 2002 Author Share Posted March 8, 2002 No, I didn't get 'em. I might change my mind though, after I talk to my cat. The AR's might still be available. Even if I had to do some re-surround work, and a bit of veneer touch-up, it still could be worth it (speaking here of ebay resale value ). I did check the links that Keith pointed me towards, but I had no idea they'd go for so much. I was thinking, maybe 400-500, but over 1500? WOW! Well, I'm off to volunteer at the kid's school: take a cake in, work in the library, decorate the MU for the spaghetti feed...hope I don't break a nail! fini Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
