+1 for ATC. I owned the KEF LS50 (V1, passive) before switching to the ATC SCM 11v2 and the difference was astounding. The KEFs were more analytical, and very detailed….but the ATC is way more fun to listen to and not at all fatiguing. Warmer, more holographical, bigger sounding….. I did my research and landed on ATC. So glad I did. Now I have SCM 40v2 and will likely never upgrade, short of moving to a bigger room or coming into a windfall…. Just my $.02.
