Remember DCM with the Time Window speakers from the late 1980s and early 1990s? It seems as if the manufacture is back into business, unless some dealer picked up the brand and had the speakers made elsewhere.  The floorstanding model here seems decent for the price.

My first decent rig in 1980 was a Dual turntable, NAD 3020 integrated and a pair of DCM Time Windows.  Styx and Ted Nugent never sounded so good.  A pretty good sounding bedroom system that got me through high school and the first few years of college.

I bought a pair of the original Time Windows back in 1977. They were great paired with a Yamaha CA-800 integrated amp.  The Time Frames came out a year or so later. The speakers in the link are not the original Time Frames. The original TFs  were essentially 1/2 of a Time window with one woofer and one tweeter on a flat front baffle. OK sounding, but the TWs were way better.

I think the TWs listed for about $750 back in '77. They'd be quite pricier today.

How good these sound is anyone's guess, but I doubt they will sound like the original TFs.
