| My speaker upgrade journey - and a few questions @cdc I caught that comment about the ATC dome midrange having an effect on dispersion- you are right it does- you are wrong in that drastically improves it, not degrades it. This wider dispersion aspect of performance is a core value of ATC engin... | |
| Greg Timbers interview Now that was was a nice article and interview on real enginering. Greg is a legend, he spans the time from James B to modern day. | |
| ATC SCM40 @jallan That’s pretty accurate overview ! I remember that GAS amp (I hate to say I’m that old) as at the time, they were excellent for the money. Ampzilla/son of was a great amp, more reliable than many others at the time. SAE was similarly reliab... | |
| High quality recordings any genre I think its always tough in these " whats a great sounding record" hreads as it hard to tell with a poster if its the music that makes it a great album or whom mixed (or mastered it). I tend to follow the mix engineer, as these are the folks most... | |
| High quality recordings any genre @mapman @drmuso Ryan Ulyate Now Available In Dolby Atmos: Ryan Ulyate’s Act 3 (Immersive Edition) | IAA (immersiveaudioalbum.com) | |
| Was 1971 the high point of popular music? I agree the early 70s was amazing and it was the diversity of popular music impressed me. Today pop music tends to follow a similar path. For a while everyone sounded like Ariana Grande, now it's Taylor, Olivia Rodriguez, etc. BUT the diversity... | |
| High quality recordings any genre @mapman I must congratulate you on a very good take on music. This is the way people who make it (tracking/mixing/mastering) feel. If you want to check out something very new and quite extraordinary, check out ACT 3, Ryan Ulyate. I attended ... | |
| Receiver with subwoofer level buttons? I wouldn't say more remote buttons are always positive or user friendly. The OP mentions he doesn't use 90% of them already. Having more "places" to turn things up and down, change phase, crossover points etc also create blind alleys some folks ... | |
| ATC SCM150ASLT @phusis I think you misunderstood what I was trying to express. 380Hz is the crossver point ATC uses from woofer to midrange (in active or passive versions of their 3 ways) therefore avoiding the worst narrowing effects of the various sized LF ... | |
| ATC SCM150ASLT @todbut I don't think any of us in the business have anything more important than helping anyone considering/owning/using ATC. I believe you cannot "sell" things, you have to "explain things" and people will make their own judgements. These ar... | |
| ATC SCM150ASLT @todbut HI Todd- answers below. What size to go with may have more to do with the visual issue . 150s are big. TO be honest we sell more 50s and 100s for home use. THose are manageable in size. So I might look at those- the sound exactly like t... | |
| ATC SCM150ASLT Pat Keogh was a US dealer with us for ATC in the NE. He’s inactive now but was a strong supporter for many years. Its not exactly true the 50s are more accurate, but it was the founder’s favorite model and over the years one of ATC’s best sellers.... | |
| ATC SCM150ASLT @todbut 1) Yes they sound the same but there are differences in how a ASL monitor and ASLtower sound due to stands used on the ASL. If its sound anchors, the sound would be the same or better on the monitors. If its wooden stands, the towers wou... | |
| Pink Floyd Aficionados @dadork If you want to hear Pink Floyd as they do, get some ATC active SCM50A, or the larger brother SCM100As or if you can fit them, the SCM150As. They own them, use them in studio since the mid 80s or so? SCM 50s used on the last few new for... | |
| Pink Floyd Aficionados @curiousjim You really think it's bad? Curious why the band would have approved it if it was bad. Brad |
