I’ve only heard them at audio shows. No local dealers. Always sound pretty distinctive. Have not had enough exposure to form a lasting opinion. Still interested. No doubt the build quality is quite good and the company has a great reputation for that.
Where to hear ATC speakers
I'm intrigued by all the discussion of ATC speakers. I live in NYC, and I can't find anywhere to demo any model, let alone the sctive SCM40s I want to hear. Anybody know a place?
Also listening to Wilson Sabrina and Vandersteen Quattro CT. My Thiel 3.6s I've had since 1994 may have bitten the dust.

I'm in touch with a NYC shop called anologique that seems to have been around for a while. A few nightmare reviews on Yelp, but some good ones too. Open to suggestions. I'm getting an estimate to move my speakers down there next week #NYCapartmentliving. http://www.analogique.com/ |
"In order to discover for myself the sonic distinctions between active and passive, ATC, through its U.S. distributor Lone Mountain Audio, dispatched to me a “conversion kit,” so I could swap out the amp pack/electronic crossover for the standard SCM50 passive crossover" http://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/atc-scm50-aslt-loudspeaker/ I like that. |
That was something special we did for Absolute Sound so they could compare active & passive approaches in one loudspeaker. It required a fair amount of labor during the review to make the switch! It's a pretty amazing thing to hear a high resolution wide band loudspeaker with flat phase and amplitude response. You hear so many details you otherwise miss. Brad LoneMountain |
