Any DCM Time Windows experts out there?

[mea2112]

I lucked out and found a pair of the original Time Windows for sale in very nice condition. They really do sound totally amazing! All drivers are working and since DCM used the butyl rubber surrounds on these everything's fine in that respect. From what I've been able to tell DCM made the Time Windows in such a way that when you bought a pair one speaker was marked "left" and the other speaker was marked "right". Can anyone verify this? How can I make sure I don't have two "lefts" or two "rights"? Neither of the speakers have any markings on them of any kind, not even the DCM name or model number but they're definitely Time Windows.

If they are mirror-imaged, it probably doesn't really matter.
It may have something to do with whether the tweeter is to the outside or on the inside as you look at them.

The original timewindows have two woofers and two tweeters. The drivers are symmetrically configured, but TL terminus (or vent) for each woofer is different. Thus the timewindows are asymmetric, BUT AFAIK they were not sold as mirror imaged pairs.

Here's one of my ugly (but cheap) timewindows. The other one is identically configured (and just as ugly).

Timeframes are left and right. I don't believe Timewindows are.

Thanks for the responses guys! I'm just gonna assume I got the wrong information and that the one's I have are fine. Thanks for the picture mrh. It's good to see what they look like without the covers.

My TimeWindows are not book matched either.

They look UGLY Well, mine are particularly ugly, but they work fine and only cost $10.

Thedelihaus took a stab at reveneering them (at his expense!) but wasn't able to do it. He kindly donated the veneer he'd bought to me! Someday, I'll tackle these. Someday...

Only the TimeWindow Three and TimeWindow Seven are mirrored.

I paid 150 for mine. But mine are perfect. Incredible sound. DCM advertised that they could be placed anywhere in a room! (pretty much) and you would get a rich forfilling sound.
