Selling my T+A TCD 410 monitors in ebony gloss. I am the original owner, purchased almost 2 years ago. I did change the cheap bi-wire binding posts to Aeco Rhodium plated Tellurium copper posts. Also, I upgraded the internal wiring with solid core OFC wire. Cabinets are lined with G.R. Research no res. The finish does have a haze, that is very hard to notice and seems to be underneath the finish. You really have to look hard and at the right lighting. Beautiful Macassar ebony high gloss, which was an upgrade finish. Great German monitors with fantastic imaging and presence. 2300.00 plus shipping. List price was 6000 for the ebony.
From the web:
The TCD 410 R is a compact, medium-sized bookshelf speaker
which can also be stand-mounted. It is a classic two-way design,
and manages the feat of combining the delightful tonal and spatial
characteristics of the compact two-way speaker with the bass response
and deep bass dynamics of larger floor-standers. As with
all TCD models, the cabinet is extremely solid and resonance-free,
because it consists of a rigid internal case permanently bonded to
the side panels.
For the two-way system of the TCD 410 R we have developed a 17
cm bass / mid-range driver which offers superb dynamic qualities
in the bass range as well as operating effectively in the mid-range,
with a completely unfettered, uncolored and open character. This
unit also features our GREY CONE® cone. This consists of air-dried
wood fibers and graphite particles, producing an extremely
stable, highly damped, amorphous material which eliminates any
systematic propagation of structure borne sound in the cone.
To prevent any form of resonance and break-up in the extremely
critical mid-range area, the cone incorporates carefully defined
slots which are sealed with a special adhesive; this not only stiffens
the cone, but also prevents all partial vibration. An optimized
phase plug made of machined aluminum ensures homogeneous
radiation characteristics up to 4000 Hz and above. The low-profile
surround provides good damping, guarantees accurate excursion
characteristics and also perfect roll-off and transition qualities in
the mid-range / treble-range. The huge magnet forms a perfect unit
with the rigid die-cast basket. This unique driver endows the entire
vocal range with an incredibly musical and pleasant character.
Naturally the Wave guide dome tweeter is employed for the high
frequency range. These two drivers harmonies together perfectly,
creating tremendous detail fidelity and imaging accuracy. Massive
bi-amping terminals, an extremely low-loss cross-over unit with a
new form of low-saturation, low-distortion coils, and an accurately
tuned bass reflex system are important constituents of this surprisingly
powerful small loudspeaker.
