| Recommendation for ATC SCM150 Amp/Pre I’ve read all the reviews about passive vs. actives and debated for a while about which one would work best for me. While it is true that actives have their advantages, I ultimately decided to go with passives so I could change amplification later... | |
| Recommendation for ATC SCM150 Amp/Pre @dpac996 thanks for the recommendation. I would absolutely have to audition this amp before I make the decision. What other amps have you tried ? | |
| Recommendation for ATC SCM150 Amp/Pre @soix Thanks for the recommendations. I currently have scm40 and could certainly see the difference with a high power SS amp compared to tune. I auditioned Electrocompinet 300w monos and I was blown away by what these little speakers could do. T... | |
| ATC active vs. passive @dpac996 your statement about my amps matches my observation exactly as you predicted GrandiNote and MasterSound ran out of steam very quickly, I had to max out GN volume to 100% and it was barely adequate same with MASTERSOUND, beautiful mi... | |

| ATC active vs. passive I have the scm40 MK2 version. Still lacking to my ears compared to Triangle Magellan. I know ATC SCM50 and above have a superior tweeter just not sure how much of an upgrade it will be. | |
| ATC active vs. passive I bought ATC scm40 and powering them with luxman 595, MASTERSOUND 845 and Grandinote Shainai integrated amp. I like the tonality and happy with low end. However, the tweeter is inferior to my Triangle Magellans. I’m still interested in ATC 50 and... | |
| ATC active vs. passive I'm leaning toward 150 passives. Part of this hobby is constantly playing and tweaking with components. What tube amp would pair well with ATC? I'm open to integrated as well. I doubt my current 50 and 100W tube amps will do justice on 150. I... | |
| ATC active vs. passive There isn’t a single dealer in the northeast that has ATC SCM50 or higher. I’ve auditioned most other brands ranging from 10-300k, none of them had the dynamics, timbre and accuracy of ATC except Avalon acoustics Saga. Those are the very best I’ve... | |
| ATC active vs. passive @lonemountain 1. is it possible to self modify Active into passive down the line if get tired of active and would like to try other amps ? Is it possible to purchase passive crossover and swap them at home? 2. 150 is considerably wider baf... | |
| ATC active vs. passive @lonemountain Thanks for your input. “The active system exhibited much bette imaging and better high resolution of fine details like room sound, reverb tails, harmonics on piano, acoustic guitar, violins. ” I understand what you said above. I ... | |
| ATC active vs. passive My tube amp is Auris fortissimo, 100W Push pull. I’m concerned it wouldn’t be enough to power SCM150 that I’m considering. I have a big room, I like to listen at high volume. I am in the position to buy anything ranging from 50 to 150 both passi... | |
| ATC active vs. passive I'm interested in 50 and above. Where can I demo those in NY/NJ/MA/CT area? | |
| ATC active vs. passive @lonemountain appreciate the detailed response 1. I have a big room, 45 x 15 ft 2. listen to classical, piano and large scale orchestra at high volume 3. absolutely love tube sound and have the ability to bi amp a passive system if needed. I... | |
| ATC active vs. passive I love tube amplification and worried that if I get an active model I may not achieve the tube sound. I read that active amplification is superior for multiple reasons but would that trump the benefits of tubes? Would I regret actives in the long ... |
