What's the best mid-range driver available?
ATC will not sell any drivers alone. There are only 2 distributors in the country and I know both. If you want to buy and demo pair, I can turn you on to the importer and distributor of ATC located here in Denver. Cheers. 
Which SPEAKER for the 21ST century?
I throw everyone a curveball, or nearly everyone.... I vote that the speaker for the 21st century will be the successful development of the hypersonic speaker. Prototypes exist and work, but not to the performance needed. When the science figures ... 
ATC, the big boys
You're right. Their new site is still being built. The just switched over a couple weeks ago. Here's their old site, which is not as nicely done, but has a TON more info in it, but you have to dig for it.http://web.archive.org/web/20010405063814/w...

What's the best mid-range driver available?
ATC makes the best midrange driver in the world. No competition. Too bad they will not sell just their MidRange driver, you have to buy the entire speaker.

I've been thinking and my brain froze... If you want the best of the best from ATC, you need to buy the SCM70 ASL's. It is the Ultimate and only reference for folks with obscene amounts of cash. They have to match some 40 pairs of MOSFETS exactly....

If you talk w/ Billy Woodman, the prez and chief engineer for ATC, he'll tell you that in most cases he'll recommend that you DO NOT go with the 200's or 300's for most homes. Write a letter to ATC telling them the dimensions of your room and they... 
No Sellers willing to do COD anymore???
It is a whole lot easier to follow the money trail than it is to follow the amplifier trail.... What I mean is that If I mail out my $2000 amp to Joe Cool, and he skips town, how do I know that was even his true name??? No picture or ID. If I get ... 
My brother the doctor needs speakers
Try the ATC Concept 2 system. It's 5 speakers and a sub. Each speaker is internally bi-amped. A B&K or Intergra Research Pre/Pro and great DVD player and you have an amazing, highly simple, and incredible sounding system for under $17K. www.at... 
Best Kept Speaker Secret?
ATC Active 20's... They are internally bi-amped. So sell your amps and put the money towards a pair of new ones... www.atc.gb.net I've never heard a better imaging, neutral, or dynamic bookshelf speaker that disappears more than these... 
ATC, the big boys
The Active 200's and 300's were specifically designed for recording studios for the "rock and rollers". Turns out that they were blowing the tweeters out of the 150's and 100's and designed them to be "unbreakable" under any painful hearing level....

Using two speakers for the center channel
It's definately a case that my buddy and I have debated for a while now. We were using a pair of ATC Active 20's or Active 50's for the center channel. One on each side of the screen makes for an amazing image of the voices coming out of the direc...

Which SPEAKER for the 21ST century?
The speaker for the 21st century is going to be ATC. They were founded as a driver company and now in 60% of the world's recording studios. What makes their Mid-Range so Unreal and amazing is that they use a Soft-Dome Midrange. It is made out of a...
