ATC SCM20, Wow what sound..

These babies really got up and sang, really dynamic and involving midrange. Has anyone else heard these? 83 db senisitivity scares me. I have a little Classe CA-100 and the dealer wants to put me in a BAT vk500 if I get these. Who can talk about these little jems ??? The demo system was Escoteric Transport->Tact->vk-30SE -> vk-500->ATC 20 Thanks....

ATC makes some of the best dynamic speakers available. They're used extensively as professional studio monitors. They need plenty of high current amp power and careful room placement. The tweeter is a wide dispersion design. Rather than go with the passive version, seek out the powered versions.

I have to say that the system setup that I spoke of had the best sound I have heard in quite awhile. Its hard to say it was the best I've heard but it was as good as I can ever remember.. They don't make powered 20s do they? I think the 50s can be had in powered form but the foot print won't work for me. The 20s were the right size. How big of a SS power amp would I need for these babies. I am very inclined to stay with Classe and would upgrade to a CA-150 or CA-200 but that's it. No CA-300 or CA-400 for me. Too big foot print wise.. Thanks...

There is a pair of ACT 50-A available right now in the new today area of this site. For the proce and the Mana stands they are worth considering.
