ATC SCM v3 - First impressions.......
brad, the passive version is 18kg. And most of that weight is from the horribly heavy magnets they use. Theres nothing special about the boxes. I think you'll find its just mdf. 
What the 802 and 3 Decades can tell us about trends
if you dont like the factory set curves of the b&w just get yourself an equalizer and stop complaining

You said they had crummy midrange. Why??Did you not read my answer? I explained why already. Perhaps you have lower standards than i do? That would explain why our opinions differ. Maybe if they took those drivers and cut some holes in the side of...

@mofojoTell us about the poor midrange performance Kenjit?What hifi magazine in the UK did a review of another speaker in which they compared it against ATC. I am not mentioning this to endorse that product but as evidence to show that the ATC sou...

Are ATC just perfect? What are the weaknesses in the sound quality? 
ATC SCM v3 - First impressions.......
ATC are one of the cleanest most accurate sounding speakers in the planet.Many studios choose not to use ATC. There are genelecs, Pmc, neumann, focal, dynaudio, kii, and others chosen instead of ATC by professionals.

BTW who is to say an MDF box is inferior to aluminum? kef blade, magico, wilson, wilson benesch, yg, etc many more

You will hear many things wrong with them eventually. You just havent listened to them long enough. I have heard ATC speakers by the way.  
Are Bowers and Wilkins speakers overpriced?
@Nigel squires1 - I don't like B&W that much. You can't argue personal taste.2 - They are not objectively neutral - Proven in measurements3 - B&W has changed their curves over time - Again, proven. 1. You havent heard them in every room... 
Are Bowers and Wilkins speakers overpriced?
Yes they are overpriced. All speakers are.  
Are Bowers and Wilkins speakers overpriced?
Some people dont like the way they have been tuned. But those people have never heard them after theyve been retuned so their opinion is mistaken.  
Need a high end, quite, phase proper, passive X over!
so you think that somebody is going to be able to just hand you a ready made crossover to plug in and it will all work perfectly?Thats not the way it works. Best thing is to just just yourself a mini dsp plate amp.  
Speakers Don’t Matter As Much As We Think They Do?
Erik is not correct. Speakers are factory tuned so that they will suit a wide variety of users preferences but its impossible to satisfy everybody. Change is happening and we are seeing more dsp based monitors that do enable custom tuning by the u... 
There's a lot more bass in a 6.5" driver than most of you think
Doing it manually allows one to decide by ear which actions are the most beneficial. Often only minor intervention is necessary.is what toole say. So in other words this all comes back to custom tuning by ear which is what ive been advocating all ...
