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

Those are some great looking cables...i saw those some time back.I will add that that pro/driver likes some awg to get it grunting.I used a pair of diy mogami 3104 "8.5 awg" and some of the low notes that came out that speaker were impressive.fwiw.

I opted for just over shoulder toe in that gave me best sound stage.Directly was good but i  felt that over shoulder gave me broader stage.Your stands look worthy enough.Big believer in sound anchors for atc's.If they are spiked make sure they are secured to floor!...all i know is the effort really made the difference with the 19v2's.They give back whats put into it.Like the power rating from amp!

Brad (lm) knows these things...🎶

Forgot...big believer in jumpers as well.Something close to main sc's works wonder's imho.
