DCM Time Windows

Have recently acquired a pair of the orginal Time Windows by DCM.They represented an outstanding value when new and in the pre owned market little can touch them. Presently powered by a Robertson 4010 Amp and RGR PreAmp.One of the most transparent and seamless speakers I have ever owned.It is to bad that DCM chose to discontinue the Time Windows.Any suggestions on proper room placement appreciated.Also should spikes be used with the Time Windows?

As a previous owner of the original Time Window (1980), the sound was greatly improved by raising them on 9 inch stands. A steel stand shaped to the base of the speaker was sold after market, but I made my own. A mid range coloration was removed by raising the speaker, especially on vocals. The speakers also sounded more open by raising them. The speaker gave me a lot of musical pleasure, but I think they were colored compared to modern designs.

I had a pair of the early 80's time windows before they changed out the drivers. I gave them to my brother when I upgraded to B&W Matrix II's. Very neutral speakers with a nice soundstage but a bit subdued in the high and low freq.
The QED was a nice speaker also.

Trivia extra credit

Does anyone know what DCM stands for???

According to DCM the Time Windows are no longer made due to their feeling that they would have to set a MSRP price at $1,800.00 due to perceived low demand,that the high end market now represents. However I was told that drivers and all other parts are available thru DCM for current owners of Time Windows.
