Calling ATC owners

I have models in both of those finishes. Their walnut is nicely finished with retained grain texture - on par with most speaker mfr's quality - and of the lowest price tiering options excluding their painted "pro" option. Their premium rosewood option is slightly more refined, but not worth the bloated premium upcharge, and really no better executed (fit/finished) than most lesser expensive speaker mfr's offering exotic finishes. I bought all of my ATC's discounted (six 20's and two 100's) and were only available in these two colors for purchase. Though I'm not really into wood, the walnut (20's) is much easier to place in my modern/contemporary motif vs the 100's dominating rosewood presense. If I was buying new, had a choice of finishes and deep pockets, the birdseye maple is more to my likings.

FWIW,

Dave_72,

I haven't tried to contact anyone through Audiogon for many years, and I don't see a "contact member" option in the new format. If you can provide a secondary email address, or if anyone can instruct me how to contact a memeber, I'll send you some photos of my rosewood and walnut finished ATCs for color/texture comparison.

"So is the ATCs midrange..more important for me ;-)"

Yep, concur, and their current tweeter isn't bad either.
Uhhh, okay... and their woofers, too! Oh, and.....
