| Opinions about upgrade Spitzer45I was referring only to the active ATCs, not the passive. The 85db becomes moot. | |
| Upgrading path from Merlin VSM black magic Happily ran Merlin Black Magic monitors for years with JL subwoofer and lots of Manley gear with proper cabling, Quadraspire stands and massed speaker stands. Everything I could do and finally went active for the dynamics I sought. I'm there now... | |
| Opinions about upgrade Really good suggestions. I’m launching in a completely different direction. Your Hegel shows Fixed/Variable Out. ATC speakers were suggested. Consider the ATC active for that much money. Smarter people than me weighed in on my review of the A... | |
| Where to hear ATC speakers Lots of good discussion. You might read the great responses recently regarding my recent purchase and experience with the ATC SCM 40 active floor standers. I believe it covers the subject matter well.https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/review... | |
| Review ATC SCM 40 A floorstanders.....finally mktmkt,I've no idea. Perhaps someone else knows and can contribute. | |
| Review ATC SCM 40 A floorstanders.....finally I've never listened to either the SCM 150 or 50, but am aware of their physical size. I can physically move my ATC 40s upstairs and set them up. Doubtful with the other two. The price of pursuing perfection.....back problems. | |
| Review ATC SCM 40 A floorstanders.....finally tomic601,Thanks for the HRS damper suggestion. Will follow up. I have a Pardo PSU and it made a terrific difference. Then somebody on A'gon had a different PSU and claimed it smoked the Pardo he also used. Bought it used from him and he was d... | |

I also allowed the dealer to keep them for another 2 as a courtesy to demo to others, so 6 months before taking them.The ... | |
| Review ATC SCM 40 A floorstanders.....finally Correction: Patrick Cullen PCs. Sorry for that. | |
| Highest BUILD quality tube amps? Lots of good suggestions. I may have missed recommendations for Decware, VTL and I agree with the recommendation of Manley. I’ve owned 4 pieces of Manley and never a problem. | |
| What is the best way to tame a slightly bright speaker? Perhaps I missed it in all of the chatter. What are you running for a preamp, DAC, turntable, etc. Seems like a lot of very complicated solutions for a simple task. | |
| Best Rocking Speakers 15K and Under My new ATC 40 active speakers are residing at the dealer who ordered them for me. I agreed to leave them to play with for a couple of weeks before taking possession. The shop sells very high end stuff and stated so far the 40s are scary good col... | |
| Affordable integrated pure class A? Second the Sudden A21SE recommendation. I own that amp myself. It is immediate in reproduction.... I mean really quick. Everything else seems slow off the mark and a bit sloppy. Midrange is sweet and bass is tight but not thunderous or really ... | |
| To power condition or not Shadorne,Will have high quality RCA to XLR cables made, no adaptors. German manufacturer or Analysis Plus expected. | |
| Have l become unstable? jay23 collects the ‘Eye for Detail’ award as I misspoke my digital cable as a Shunyata Valhalla. Must be a hybrid. Nordost Valhalla. My Homer Simpson moment. Thanks jay23 for my Sunday morning humbling. Thank you everyone for great feedback. ... |
