Anyone have experience with the new ATC active bookshelf speakers?

@m669326  From all the ATC I’ve heard. I think they’d be midrangey. I will get to hear them at High End Munich later this year. But outside of dynamics and sounding generally balanced with a quirk in the upper mids and lower treble, ATC pretty decent.

Not "midrangey" unless you prefer a smiley curve speaker.

No quirk in the upper mids or low treble, they measure extremely flat.

They went over extremely well at AXPONA this past week in the ATC room.  We have a lot of reviews lined up and there is already one review out there.

Thanks, Brad.

I recently auditioned a pair of ATC SCM20 but the passive version paired with a Bryston 3B3. I really liked them but not as much as what I have so I returned them.

The were very well balanced with great dispersion and a big soundstage for their size. The active ones probably sound even better. Definitely worth listening to. 

@mashif Same experience for me. I auditioned the SCM20P (the P is for Passive) with a Benchmark AHB2 and then switched to a Rogue Audio Dragon hybrid. In both cases it was extremely balanced and clean. The SCM20 really shows the character of the amplifier being used, and of course the rest of the chain behind it.

I ended up not buying them because I wanted to compare with the active versions, but could not get a demo at the time. I have a hunch those are better than the passives even with good amplification. Will revisit that later when I can find a set to try out.
