A wonderful aspect of ATC is how faithfully they reproduce what has been recorded on the media. This can be amazing with excellent recordings but horrible on poorly recorded ones. They are very clear, resolving and tonally neutral. I've owned the 20-2's and the SCM-11's. I currently own the SCM-19's. The bass for the size has slam and is very detailed. They do require powerful amplification. Many don't like ATC because they are too revealing.
On the other hand Tannoy are not as "fast" are more mellow sounding and less detailed. With good tubes they produce a warm blanket of sound which many people like. I own the Glenair 15's and once owned the Turnberry's.
Based on your listening preferences I would recommend the Tannoy's.
