| Where to hear ATC speakers I was the one who did that demo at AXPONA. The active advantage is pretty clear, but a lot of folks love those amps and cables! For NYC demo, I would call George at Innovative Audio. They have 19s now and we are in the process of trying to get... | |
| ATC SCM20, Wow what sound.. The 20 is a "pro" number in the US, and home audio model is called the SCM 19. Active is called the SCM 19A. The SCM 19 and SCM 20 pro are voiced differently, in both active and passive versions. The 20 is brighter and set up for highlighting f... | |
| ATC users P2's do drive SCM 19s much better than a P1, I've done that demo many times as the ATC importer to the USA. But a P2 vs P1 is not as dramatic a difference for the money vs a sub. I'd recommend multiple subs at lower level, as opposed to one, if ... | |
| What is the most dramatic way of increasing a speaker's Bass and Low mid? The simplest way for bass boost is use your room boundaries. Using the example of a flat response bookshelf on stand in the middle of a room away from all boundaries, move that stand mounted speaker fully against one wall- this adds +3dB in low e... | |
| Your thoughts about ATC loudspeakers I really don't know where this information comes from, "not easy to drive". ATC has a very consistent impedance curve, does not drop down to super low impedance like many other systems do. Efficiency in the full range sealed box category, say BB... | |
