Opinions please Meridian vs ATC active speakers

Most of Meridian's speakers are now DSP (digital into the speaker). I own them and believe they have many advantages (and sound wonderful). I suggest you read Bob Stuart's white paper at http://www.meridian.co.uk/w_paper/DSP_speakers_scr.pdf. It's worth reading.

I've owned ATCs. I don't now. I've owned Watt/Puppies, Apogees, Sonus Faber, Vandersteen, and Thiel. ATC active speakers are the most accurate I've heard in terms of micro-dynamics and timbre--a sax or female vocal sounds exactly like the live sound of a sax or vocalist. They also do big dynamic swings well if you have the 100s or larger 150s. The Meridians are a great engineering idea that just doesn't pan out to my ears.

Well the verdict is in. I just received a pair of ATC 20-2 active monitors to compare against my meridians and well to be frank the meridians are now going to be leaving my home. These ATC's are in a class of their own. I cannot believe how good this speaker is. It is far better sounding then the active 10 is as well. Demo'd those but these have the world renowned hand-built mid-range speaker from ATC which the 10's don't have. It also has a better tweeter in it. if you have never heard these ATC's don't waste any money until you demo them. I am sold.

I have compared Meridian M-33's and Atc Active 10's. I think this a direct comparison. I found the Atc Active 10's slightly better in clarity and bass response.
