If you get the ATCs make sure you have more than enough distance to allow the drivers to blend.
when I heard them the dome midranges were noticeably incoherent with the other drivers (they have a very limited bandwidth compared to a conventional midrange). This resulted in frequent image shifting in vocals- very unpleasant.
I was listening from about 15 feet away, i would recommend at least 20 feet.
the Spendors on the other hand are incredibly coherent from 9 feet and beyond.
As mentioned above, this is almost laughable given the common near-field listening distances employed in ATC studio installations.
The comment about the midrange driver is utter misinformation. How do people come up with this stuff?
In my 20ft long room I listen to my SCM100 actives at a 9ft distance - super coherent and engaging sound.
