ATC SCM40A speakers


Considering the purchase to replace my B&W 803 D3 pair. 

Have read nothing but rave reviews about the ATCs.

Would appreciate anyone's opinion who has first hand experience with ATCs, particularly the SCM40A.

Thanks in advance.

I've owned ATC 40 passive driven by Coda amplification, now 50 active and agree with all the above.

I aspire to own some SCM40a's, but am very happy with my SCM19 v2's, purchased from @lonemountain here in Vegas.  I have heard the SCM40's with the ATC integrated amp powering them (100wpc).  Sublime.

I power my SCM19 v2's w/a McIntosh MA-252 and I am filling a large space. I can play loud, but it taxes the little McIntosh's 100wpc (which seem to be less robust than the 100w in the ATC integrated amp).

 

 

@tomcarr ,

If you're still in the market check out the pair for sale on USAM. 

Great deal at $5700.

admranger   I do not know your particular amp, but I do know ATC transducers.  They can be quite demanding and particular, wringing the life out of respectable power.  I’ve a pair of SCM 20s run by a Luxman 509X and they need all of it.  
125 wpc of solid stable Luxman current.
