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'm sure you mean ATC loudspeakers.  Very serious kit with the ability to reproduce about anything.  Would not be too concerned about their specifications (48Hz).  This is a very controlled bass response in the control of the correct amplifier.

The Oppo is a decent source, but not convinced adequate for the ATCs. This is a ruthlessly honest speaker and may reveal any deficiencies of the Oppo.  I run the ATC 40 active, so understand somewhat its capabilities.
