ATC or Audio Note (2-way)


Anyone have experience with both brands?

I only buy gear I can upgrade and tinker with and I stick with 2-way loudspeakers..

AN seems easier to DIY. so I would definitely want to see how the ATC responds to component upgrades. Are they capable of much higher resolution?

 

thanks in advance

I’ve heard both. It doesn’t seem likely you’ll get much more resolution by tinkering with the ATC and you’ll possibly compromise its sonic balance (btw most ATCs bar the big ones are bass-shy). Modding the AN will probably modify its sound -- but do you really want that? These are not exactly cheapo speakers.

I would suggest another diy challenge: purchase vintage japanese speakers and mod them to approach contemporary performance standards!
