ATC SCM19 V2 Recommendations.

I recently purchased a pair of ATC SCM19 speakers and I just wanted to pick some brains.

I am not interested in advice on different speakers or very expensive options.

I am recently retired, on a fixed income and buy mostly used.

What I would like to get is some options for speaker cables, speaker stands, speaker placement and synergy with my current components.

My room is 12' x 18' x 9' and the speakers need to be placed on the 18' wall.

My current setup includes the following:

Musical Fidelity M6si integrated (220 w @ 8 ohms)

Tellurium Black speaker cables

Lumin D1 Streamer

Denafrips Ares II DAC

Distributed bass array with (2) Rel T5, (1) Rel T7i and (1) SVS SB2000 subs

Before you change your amp, streamer or DAC e.t.c the limiting factor here, IMO, is the speaker cables and stands. The Tellurium Black are good, I have owned them, but the Ultra Black II will open up the sound of this system a lot compared to the black. Or get Colin Wonfors LS-25 (Colin was the designer of all the Tellurium cables, and the LS-25 is the equivalent of the Ultra Black II, but sold direct at half the price).

Then put the speakers on good stands. The Solidsteel SS-6. You do not know what those ATC monitor speakers are capable of until you do this.

It seems like two quite expensive ancillary items, but you wont regret it and you will stay off the component swap merry go round.

535 pounds for a 2.5m pair.

@tony1954 The cables are sold direct from the UK by ABCaudio dot biz

Contact them first to make sure they are currently shipping, as Colin’s business partner who manufactures and distributes the cables did recently have a health scare.
