Impressive Vintage DCM Timeframe Floor-Standers TF350 REDUCED

A rare pair of DCM Time Frame Model 350 vintage speakers circa 1988.

DCM in their earlier days made their speakers with a Transmission Line design. This extended the bass lower than one would expect considering the small footprint of the speakers. They image wonderfully and are quite sonically transparent.

DCM TF350’s have that distinctive Time Window sonic signature. DCM did not stray far from the Time Window success and enjoyed a cult like following in the 1980’s. The musical presentation is near holographic. First and foremost is the much improved sound-stage. The depth is quite profound. Although they don’t disappear altogether, the cabinets just about go away when listening. So, instead of closing one’s eyes and hearing music coming from two distinct places, it’s now more of a wall of sound in front of the listener.

The Time Frame speakers are mirror imaged speakers. Meaning there is a left and right to them. By placing the DCM Logo to the inside edges of the pair, this accomplished the mirror image effect. Like the Time Windows they have a fabric sock covering that encircles the entire speaker, with wood trim at the top and bottom of the speaker. They weigh about 32 pounds each and measure 15 inches across the base, stand 38 inches tall and have a depth of about 6 inches. Construction is first rate, these are very sturdy speakers. The base has a fold out pedestal for additional support, a very nice touch.

They have a 6 1/2″ woofer and .75 inch kick ass Phillips dome tweeter.

Rated for amplifiers; 20 to 150 watts per channel, and nicely efficient at 90db/1watt/1meter

These speakers excel at Jazz and Classical music as well as vocals. The DCM TF350 can rock, make no mistake about that, but for the over the edge rocker, it won’t be mistaking them for Cerwin Vega’s or JBL’s.

Radique’s Take: after listening to these TF 350’s extensively, their sound belies their modest driver size; listening blind would have guessed them to be 10″ woofers. If you’re looking for attractive, great sounding vintage speakers for your music listening system, these might be the ideal choice for you!
