DCM Time Windows - What Next?


So after a couple decades of ownership (~1975 original build iirc) one of my beloved Time Window towers has blown a woofer. Looking for recommendations on options to consider to replace these. Don't really have a preference between new/used but likely my ears will appreciate something with a similar soundstage and tonal balance. Budget under 3k.

You might considering starting your whole system from scratch...Find a budget and then consider your room size  ( big room big speakers ) your music tastes ie. vocals male and female are best served with an resolving midrange, sweet, relaxed ( when you hear a live session the performers work on relaxing their throat so the music pours out. 
For me, If I can't relax into the music, just get lost into music then I want no part of it...

So I drove out to West Virginia to pick up the 1a pair. Not quite in service yet as I'm waiting on covers to be finished for protection from the kitties so slumming it with the Left channel on my scrappy looking Time Window 1 and using the DCM Cinemascape as the right channel temporarily until I have the new 1a set ready to go.

They are in pretty nice shape, original Brown fabric is still on them with no tears so definitely happy with the condition. Seller demo'd them upon pickup and they definitely are in good working order and can put out some sound.

Will drop in a final update with impressions on the sound of the 1a set vs the original design in my space.

Thanks again to all who chimed in!

an almost cat proof speaker would be the metal grill ADS710 or 810. Yes i managed a store w DCM, ADS, Vandy, Infinity, etc….

 

I need to purchase a new receiver/amp but I need one capable of 4K. I have a pair of Time Windows that I purchased new in 1979 and still love them. The WPC on the receivers I see are around 150 wpc, which is considerable more than the 40 wpc on my original amp. Is 150 too much?
