Modified DCM TFE200's......World Reference Now


I can't believe how much better these speakers sound after I cut out the whole side walls of the midrange chamber...its a night and day difference! All my friends are amazed too.....

I hope they're your favorite speakers for the rest of your life. They're worth about $15 now.
I gotta tell you, I am used to an open box sound - I have had Vandersteen 1Cs for 7 years now. One effect of being a Vandy owner, is that if a speaker has too much box resonance, a boxy sound, I hear it immediately. When I heard the STOCK TFE200s at HE2007, they did not sound boxy in any way. On the contrary, I wondered at how DCM could make a speaker that large, that cheap, without having a really resonant cabinet. Maybe they do sound better all chopped up, but I was extremely impressed with them in stock form.
If a tree falls on a school for the hearing impaired, does anyone get hurt?

I have know idea what that means, it's just the thought that popped into my head while reading this thread - sorta like a Rorschach test - first thing, you know.
These speakers sounded just fine like they were.....they just sound better with these mods. Another mod I just did was rounding off the top part of the midrange baffle....this made things sound even better! I'm done with the mods now....LATER
