thanks but page 2 of 3 is missing which is the specs id like anybody ever seen what they look like without the socks...im trying not to pull out the phillips...
 
Nice pick-up!
It was a somewhat beat up pair of 500's that introduced me to the wonders of the DCM TF series. They sounded amazing even though it took me awhile to realize one of them had a blown tweeter.
 
Ever since I got my DCM Time Window 1's, they are my main speaker. I don't much interest in the few other speakers I have.
 
The whole TimeFrame series is well regarded here and many other venues. I had my last HT set up with four TF700's, one on each corner and it was nothing short of stellar! I did later add a sub to reinforce that last octave- but they were truly some of the best speakers I ever owned.

I'm also a TF 350 owner and do like them. I passed on a set of TF 600s because of finances and gave the the lead to a brother forumite who loves them and they had no cat scratch fever on the socks. My 350s are re foamed and re socked and not a hint of fading as you see on many E-Bay examples. I did darken the light oak tops just a bit .I really do not light light oak as speaker furniture. That's what my floors are made of.

I found a really nice pair locally as well. What is a fair price for these?
 
Great speakers, check the woofers surrounds before playing them too much. IIRC some had rubber surrounds (no need to replace) and some had foam surrounds which will probably need replacing. If you want a real treat, recap the crossovers with Clarity PX caps. I just got through listening to my TF-350s (with Clarity caps) powered by a single ended pentode EL84 tube amp, freakin' amazing.

I see this is a bit of an old post. What type of gear is required to use these speakers correctly and efficiently? I have the chance to buy a pair of these with consecutive serial numbers for a reasonable price. But I don't want to waste my time if my Onkyo A-7090 is not the AMP to use.
