KEW had a pretty good post on here a while back, but I don't recall which thread.Hey Kew would these speaker be in your top five? DCM killer? I’d like to see your top 10 one day. I know the Cantons would be at least in your top 3 position. Tempting at that price of 160/180 prices. Did the center with midrange ever go on sale? If they did how low were they?
By my memory, I believe he said to his ears the new Infinity speakers are 1/2 a notch above the DCM.
When I bought my DCM speakers, I had also been considering the Infinitys as well as the JBLs.
When I considered the cost difference, and the better looking cherry vinyl on the DCM (matches my living room perfectly), the DCM was the easy choice.
I do plan to add the 20ohm resistor (i.e. the DM mod) on a set of my DCM 160TP, when I get around to it.
On a side note--I have been running my new Overnight Sensations in the living room the last few days (no sub-woofer). I found that the OS seem a bit "shouty" in my room. After a couple of days, I asked the wife if she noticed the difference and if she was ready to go back to the DCM 260TP speakers. She said that she agreed that the OS was not as good of a speaker, and she did not know how to describe it, but I suggested that "they don't have the authority of the DCM" and she agreed.
No surprises, just re-confirming that the DCM TP series are excellent speakers, and the price we got these for was just icing on the cake!
Now that I have warmed the wife up to trying different speakers in the living room, I think I'm gonna try the DCM TFE 60 next. They may not dig as deep as the TP, but I suspect these are actually going to sound even better!
