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

Hifisoundguy,
Care to share some photos of your mods with us?

Sherod,

Are you really sure you want to see this bastardized DCM speaker? Or are you just in the mood for a good laugh?
