DCM TF-400 info wanted

If they were, you would think the manual would say which one to put where.

The manual doesn't say much. Basically just provides the specs and shows the speaker configuration. Which, BTW, does only show one speaker and doesn't mention anything about drivers being configured to the outside of each speaker.

Anyhow, it's just go me a little baffled and worried that I bought two left speakers. I don't remember ever having owned a pair of speakers where the drivers were on the outside of one and the inside of the other.

Good thing is I didn't spend much and regardless they sound nice. :0)

Thanks.

I have a pair and the DCM Logo is near the upper left corner of both speakers. Don't know if that's correct or not but they sound good and really are great at imaging. I use them in a bedroom system with a Tact 2150 driving them which is probably over kill but that's what it is for now. I'd say these were not the most detailed speakers but very forgiving and easy to listen to with a great sound stage and imaging.

My TF-700's have the tweeters on the outside edge, woofers inside(of course if you switch sides, walla...) I don't notice a huge difference with inside tweeters, vice outside to my ears like with my Maggies.

I can say more horsepower from amps makes them reveal more detail for me, not that I'd spend lots more if I didn't have multiple amps laying around. I notice getting them out into the room and away from back and side wall boundaries opens them up a good bit.

I talked to the DCM folks at one point just out of curiosity and the current staff didn't seem to know too much about my very old 700's? That was kind of interesting to me.

Tonyjack, I'm not sure what you mean by both to the left? Do you mean when facing the speakers? When facing the speakers mine have the DCM logo on the inside of each speaker. On my left speaker the drivers are on the outside (opposite of the logo) and on the right they're on the inside (same side as the logo).

I've read that some of their speakers were mirror imaged and others weren't. Seems odd to me that if the drivers are off set that they would not both be to either the outside or inside.

Anyhow, your description of their sound is pretty much what I have observed as well. They're a very easy speaker to listen to, image very nicely and have an open sound that I like. Not the last word in detail for sure, but not bad. For a hundred bucks I'm happy. Looking forward to see how they will sound with better electronics. As Rootmnan said, they reveal more detail with better power and this is what I figured.

I have a very nice Acurus 3 channel amp that's not being used, but the receiver doesn't have a pre-amp output. Might be able to use a tape monitor out, but don't like to run it that way. My DVDP have a variable output and I'm going to try and see if there's enough voltage to drive this amp, but then I wont have the FM tuner so this will be a temporary set-up while I find me a deal on a decent budget receiver.

My budget project. :0)
