The comments are generally on the money with one exception: To suggest that the top end is even a little polite makes me wonder if the writer listened to the same speaker I did-or alternatively, to ask what other equipment was involved and/or which recordings were played. I found both the 20 and the 7 (the smaller one) to be astoundingly accurate. This means, of course, that one hears, sometimes ruthlessly, what is being fed into the speakers and at times the results are anything but polite, so I would suggest that this is not a characteristic of the ATC's, but of source material or the hardware. I have a pair of A7's on order, because I liked these a lot, although it's possible the accuracy may be too much for some.
