Great speakers! takes a long long time to settle and break in. Feed with good, powerful amplification & you are in for a treat.
Definitely one of the best stand mount speakers i've heard.
They are very good all arounders but not very forgiving.
Another very very worth substitute would be the Harbeths compact 7es3s.Not as fussy or picky on amps as the atc's. These two speakers have very different sounds but both are very good & I would have a hard time choosing between the two.
Because of the forgiving nature of the harbeths, they are more all-arounder compared to the atc.
good luck. ymmv.
