ACT SCM 40 VII Speakers, anyone listening?


Thinking about upgrading to the ACT 40 SCM40 vII from my Paradigm Reference Studio 100v3.
Can anyone give me a feel for their sound? I'm looking to get more resolution, less hash in the high end and deep solid bass. Fast bass is good also. I'm currently running the flowing gear. Their specs show a low frequency of 48 Hz but using a sealed curved cabinet.

I’ve owned many different paradigms, studio 3, studio 4, sig 2 v3 with beryllium tweeters... I also owned Atc Scm 7 v2.  

The ATC’s are awesome!  Great timing and unraveling of the music.  Metallica never sounded so good.  The swing and they way they scale from quiet to loud is really cool.  The bass is really defined and well controlled.

The only thing the SCM’s didnt do for me was play electronic kick drums loud otherwise I’d still have them.  They are built like tanks, the tweeter is awesome, and they are more handsome in person than pictures.  I even liked the grills more in person.  I felt like the grills were really acoustically transparent.
