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

Speaker cables- keep the Tellurium

Speaker stands- Isoacoustic stand 

Placement- Use the ANGLES recommended by Dolby

Synergy with current setup- Get a free room analysis from Auralex about your acoustics

OP, @lonemountain is an ATC rep, take it from the horses mouth and follow his recommendation to the T before doing anything else.

I use the Dolby specs which place the speaker at a 22 to 30 degree angle from the MLP. You can achieve those angles by either moving the speakers, moving the MLP, or both. As for height the Dolby specs recommends tweeters at around ear height.

The Dolby specs I posted above are for a 2.1 system. You can try it and see how it works in your room. I'll check out the audio physic site, thx.

Paradigm still builds in their own factory too. When I thought I needed to buy a new driver they said, nah, just send the old driver back we'll recone it and bring it back to specs! That was GREAT, and I came to realize the advantages of dealing with an old school, keep it in the house, brand.
