| ATC Scm 19 V1 Upgrade or what? The V2 SCM19 sound significantly better than the V1. There was a tweeter change to the 19V1 plus some crossover changes that make the speaker sound like it is "more" than just a tweeter part change.The 40 is ATC’s most popular consumer speaker bec... | |
| Blocking Ports on Ported Speakers Usually the sweet spot is how the speakers is without a port blocked. Ports are designed specifically by length and diameter to extend the bass response by a "tuned" tube that resonates at a specific group of frequencies. You are a speaker enginee... | |
| ATC50 -- moving : Do you have your foam inserts? These two suggestions are good ones with some caveats. Styro can crack if you put something heavy on it, like a 50 put on its corner. Shipped on a pallet, it could work. Styro also creates dust as its rubbed in transit and that dust covers everyth... | |
| ATC50 -- moving : Do you have your foam inserts? $1000 for foam inserts? I don't think I said that. Thats the number to ship a pair of 50s in their cartons or a pair of empty cartons with packaging inside from Vegas to a place like New York. Its not even enough to cover the cost of getting a p... | |
| A strange business model for audio Mytek is a very small company. Michal ran it out of an apartment in NY for many years, handled everything himself. He's quite bright, which is why Mytek is ahead of many others in product development. One of the reasons Mytek is affordable is d... | |
| Most rooms don’t need acoustical treatment. Jumia- All the variations in recording qualities that endlessly frustrate? You mean all the good bad and the ugly of trying to record and recreate a real live music event?Lone Mountain Audio | |
| Any reviews of Sound Sellers of Marinette WI? I've known Sound Seller a long time. 1980s! He's an independent who developed a nice niche in b stocks and discontinued. He's a great guy, a good owner, honest, straightforward etc. I buy stuff from him myself!BradLone Mountain Audio | |
| Stereophile's 2021 products of the year I have some direct experience to offer on this. Absolute Sound, Stereophile (and several other online magazines) have reviewed and recommended our our ATC products without one dollar of advertising- ever. While all of us want to make the link be... | |
| Most rooms don’t need acoustical treatment. There are two basic issues in rooms: absorption and reflection. Acoustics panels are usually absorbers sucking up sound, some are diffusers (add more reflections). Most home listening acoustic problems are related to too many similar reflections ... | |
| Single driver speakers. Are they worth considering ? I have not read it in this thread but the biggest advantage of a single driver is linear phase. It can make what response you do have sound very good and be error free (if the driver is good). Manger has explored this design idea extensively. I... | |
| Smaller vs larger listening rooms? I go into a lot of different rooms for demos as the ATC importer. Every small room (including studios) have problems because they are too small. Small rooms do not have enough length or width to allow a true deep bass wavelength to exist in the ro... | |
| Who remembers the Dahlquist DQ-10's? I used to sell them in store in Milwaukee (the 70s) then became the Dahlquist rep! So I knew Jon and he was a character! I remember in the 70s there where people STACKING DQ10s- crazy. Yes, you guys are right, DCM Time Windows an the demo room, wi... | |
| I Was Considering Active, Then I Watched This ... Yes, but we did not do an active vs passive comparison. I did that only at AXPONA. Reading this thread makes me want to say it's all I will ever do. I cannot believe there is this much misinformation about active. Brad | |
| I Was Considering Active, Then I Watched This ... I decided today that if AXPONA happens this next fall as planned (Chicago), I’ll take a pair of ATC 50 SE’s and pair of 50 passives to compare in my exhibit room. All of you can come hear it yourself. Brad | |
| I Was Considering Active, Then I Watched This ... It’s a compromise to have active speakers and is technology mostly embraced by the professional audio sound people. They listen for frequencies, not tonal shadings or micro dynamics...certainly not for the differences in instrument voicing or spat... |
