I had a chance to audition the Atom GT1 Special Editions (Devialet) and I must say they are absolutely fantastic speakers. I was really impressed with their clarity, sense of space, imaging and their "full" sound in my medium sized room. They really are awesome speakers and I'm very surprised they're not more popular.
I own a pair of the KEF LS50 wireless speakers which I've found to be quite good and which are also supposedly better than the passive ones (though I haven't heard the passives), but the KEFs are not in the same league as the Atohm GT1s. They are much smaller sounding with a thinner sound and much inferior in terms of imaging.
I have a really hard decision on whether to buy the Atohms now or wait and buy a full range floor stander which was my original plan (until I heard the Atohms)!
