🧐 If You’re Matching or Replacing
• Any re‑creation of DCM Time Windows or DIY speakers based on Philips kit specs should include two AD 0160/T8s per box.
• For Ohm Model I restorations, these are a direct style match.
• They’re also perfect retrofits in several classic British and European speakers (e.g., B&W Legacy, Wharfedale, Goodmans) that originally used similar 1″ domes.
