| ATC SCM40A speakers @tomcarr I'll chime in, as a newcomer to home audio with ATC, I am running the passive SCM40 V2's with a Moon North 761 amp. I spent a few hours at my local dealer listening to the SCM40 actives and passives. The Active versions were driven by the... | |

| Current or Previous Harbeth Owners… @avanti1960 i felt the very same way about all my Harbeths until I auditioned ATC. They have the potential ( setup dependent) to portray that incredible transparent midrange realism of properly setup Harbeths, but the ATC’s extend top and bottom a... | |
| Luxman Preamps Of course you can. Just use the separate button on the 509 and run single ended cables from c900 to “amplifier-in”; | |
| Current or Previous Harbeth Owners… @freediver copy that. Good excerpt. I really do love Harbeths and always wanted to try the babies in a small near field setup; I’ve discovered, however that for the overall genres of music I love, ATC SCM40 v2 have that juicy vibe and incredibly t... | |
| Current or Previous Harbeth Owners… @freediver I believe instead of BS, it’s called an opinion, and believe it or not, some members actually have differing experiences that shape these things called opinions. Enjoy the music!🎶 | |
| Current or Previous Harbeth Owners… @toddcowles nice post I enjoyed a few models from Harbeth; SHL5+XD, C7ES3 XD, M40.2 and M40.3XD. Tried them all in a few different rooms and with tons of different electronics. My favorite was the SHL5+XD in a smaller room with high ceilings; som... | |
| ATC active vs. passive SCM150 are serious business :) I love tube amps. One of my all time favorite tube amps is a Luxman MQ-88uc, but careful consideration goes a long way, as i'm sure you know: room/speaker/ realistic expectations on scale etc. With the SCM150 and y... | |
| ATC active vs. passive @ei001h I was looking at the other amps you used with your SCM40’s; The Mastersound starts clipping (1%) around 10 wpc. The Grandinote is rated at 37 wpc and starts clipping (1%) around 30 wpc. Neither amp produces close to double the power as imp... | |
| ATC active vs. passive I used to have Analysis Plus full loom (same speaker cables you have) and found it clouded the soundstage. Eventually moved to Purist audio and Nordost for power which was a step in right direction for opening up. Not a fan of AP for power cords ... | |
| ATC active vs. passive @ei001h What speaker cables are you using and what power cord for your 595? Had that amp 2x and it’s pretty sensitive to power cords. Top end can can trimmed to your tastes pretty easily. On my SCM40 I am using Audience Front Row and a DPS 4.1... | |
| Experience with Simaudio Moon North amps Zuesman that is great! Happy you love the 861 so much. I’m also smiling b/c that implies, by your calculations, the 761 beats amps in the 0.75 x 60,000 = 45,000 range ( it’s about 75% as good as the 861). I have never heard a 45k amp, much less ha... | |
| Help Deciding On New Speakers For Small Room, $10k budget ATC SCM40 (active or passive ). Fully sealed/ no rear ports to potentially cause resonant problems in room. I have em in my office, slightly larger than your room, and I love them. Prior used Harbeth C7esXD, SHL5 +XD, and a ton of other standmount... | |
| Experience with Simaudio Moon North amps Interesting experiences above by other members. Synergy is key, as always. When I first received my 761 it was paired with Opera Loudspeakers, Diva Callas (latest version). The Divas are interesting speakers. Very capable, excellent separation of ... | |
| ATC active vs. passive I auditioned SCM40 active and passive. The active demo was controlled by ATC preamp. The passive was driven by North Moon 641/681 DAC ( this DAC was also the source for the active setup) I preferred the passive setup; I ended up purchasing the pa... |
