ATC’s roots are in studio monitors. They are considered extremely accurate, and many recording studios rely on them. Their domed midrange driver is legendary and was used by other speaker manufacturers, including Proac, for domestic speakers until ATC stopped supplying other manufacturers.
ATC’s are very accurate and deliver rock-solid imaging, well-defined tonality, and a soundstage that transcends the speakers. They do need power, however.
They also expose mediocre recording quality and some favorite albums may sound unengaging.
Well-recorded piano music sounds very real, with the volume envelope perfect (to me) and the coherence of the harmonics exceptional.
Use the ATC SCM19’s bi-amped with 2 x 140w on each side
I used to own the Proac EBS which used ATC drivers.
