I have used ATC for 20 years and own the 20s. They are fantastic in precisely recreating music, warts and all. They work well with all genres and come alive with more robust 200 watt plus power amps behind them--I prefer their actives over their passives.
I would highly recommend solid state pre-amps like Bryston to pair with these over most tube amps. You will get a clean and neutral sound. They work well with moving coil cartridges. The new Wadia 170 iPod transport works very well, as well as Rega or Bryston CD players.
As far as finishes, I love the Yew wood.
