How do they sound at low volume? I'm curious if the new tweeter and/or different voicing have made the active domestic speakers sound better without needing to be turned up. I have a pair of 2012ish 110s that have the old tweeter. They're spectacular when cranked but less so at lower volume. Part of it is definitely the old tweeter as it is not as resolving as the other drivers. A perfect speaker would be able to emphasize the lows and highs a little at low volume but be perfectly flat at realistic volume.
Review ATC SCM 40 A floorstanders.....finally
I thought I knew. I thought I knew all about imaging, dynamics, resolution, PRaT, all the audiophile buzz words allowing one into the coded audiophile secret society pontifications. I got schooled. It’s called ACTIVE. Everthing I’ve been yearning for has been solved with my new ATCs. They just do musical reproduction with immediacy. The attack is instantanious. Bad recording, bad reproduction. Great recording, great reproduction. Period. Fin. Ende.
I’ve progressed through some fairly serious talent. Great equipment I’ve enjoyed over the decades: always the journey, never having arrived at the ultimate destination. I do not know why it took so long to depart the traditional souce, preamp, monoblocks, cabling and transducers formula. I hope this encourages others to at least consider leaving the world of so many pieces and cabling.
System: Naim UnitiServe with unknown serious external PSU, Nordost Valhalla II digital cable, Mojo Audio Mystique V3 DAC, Manley Neo Classic preamp with Takatsuki 300B tubes. Decware ICs, Patrick Cullum Crossover II PCs, Furman IT Reference 15i power conditioner. All components sit on Quadraspire Reference X stand. Wireworld Silver Elipse 8 RCA to XLR interconnects from Manley 300B to ATCs. Isoacoustics Gaia II footers. I’m really there for now. Tchau
