ATC active or Tannoy TD12?

Anyone who lists This is Radio Clash is a friend of mine. I have two pristine copies. They just slam on the ATCs.
PS: I worked as a liason for the band with the US Festival and the The Who Tours in 1982 and 83. Really great shows most nights. Really wonderful people to work with. Really miss Joe Strummer--a super nice guy.

Love all those remix singles from that period--particularly New Order. I saw them play a secret gig/rave in downtown LA promoting that single in the mid 1980s. The entire lighting rig was blue lights--staging was just surreal.

Sun City is fabulous. I even liked what Baker did with The Boss: have you heard his remixes from Born in the USA from 1985? Very interesting in their composition.

I concur with Shadorne around the dynamics and loudness factor of owning ATCs. I have the 50s and 150s. The 150s can fill a room with ear splitting sound; I enjoy the quieter 50s for home use. They don't color the music and are very neutral and flat. They like to be played loud. My 150s are in a restored warehouse/studio complex with 40 foot ceilings; my 50s occupy a bonus room with 11 foot ceilings. They are the most precise speakers I know. If you want more a tubey magic of a classic BBC speaker, I would recommend Tannoys, Spendor, or better yet, Harbeths.

Ever hear the 12 inch remakes by Arthur Baker from the early 1980s. They really slam as well.
