ATC SCM50 (passive) v. Devore O/93

I am seriously considering purchasing either ATC SCM50 (passive) or the Devore O/93.  Any thoughts on one over the other?  This is for a new system in a downstairs room that will open to the outside.  Room itself is about 15 x20.  This is first step in building system.  Will make amp purchase based on which speaker I buy.  I realize the sensitivity differences and will make sure to have adequate power for either.  Also, I will be buying used and price differnce is not as great as retail price difference.  So all things being equaly, which to grab.  Lot of rock music likely to be played on this system.  Thanks.

Those are very different speakers so it’s a bit surprising you’d be considering both.  What sound characteristics are you looking for?  For rock music the ATCs will be more dynamic that would generally be beneficial for that genre.

Be sure to try on short wall VS long wall. Can make a big difference.
