ATC SCM40

With ringing in the New Year, I am thinking on trying the ATC SCM40 speakers. This is a huge speaker budget plunge for me but before I make a final decision, I want to see what you think on this model?  Currently I have the Vandersteen 2ci 

which they sound great powered by an Adcom GFA-5500 amp and a Rotel RC-995 preamp.

I love mine. Ask me more about them if you have specific questions.

As far as sensitivity goes, you do need a minimum of 120 watts for your amp and 150 is probably a better low end cut off. I drive mine with a Musical Fidelity A308 integrated and it seems to be a good match for my taste. Others would recommend something warmer. The consensus is that the active version is superior, but if you already have an amp and can swap for another amp, it’s a lot more expensive.
