| Hi End Audio Technician in Las Vegas Have you called Elite AV? Pretty sure they will work on a system that isn't their own. Brad | |
| I Was Considering Active, Then I Watched This ... HI @glai The SE uses all discrete amplifers, the best [sounding] amplifiers ATC makes. More esolution, finer detials are more clear, etc. Yes ATC has made external amp actives for a long time. IN the pro side they make the SCM200 and 300- ... | |
| I Was Considering Active, Then I Watched This ... I can say this, we get more calls about active now (regarding info on ATC as we are the importer) than ever before. I think this bias against active is beginning to change. Not that passive will go away, but some are beginning to want to scale d... | |
| Octave HP 300SE Preamp into ATC Active speakers @seadog137 Did you ever try this combo? I wouldnt think it would be a problem, as long as the preamp has a output above 2V. Brad | |
| ATC SCM 7 V 3 Review HI Celtic Very nicely written and you understand this speaker perfectly. Not many do but its a gem in ATC’s line up. Years ago I used to demo the SCM7 by putting it on a larger speaker, like a SCM40 3 way floor stander, at shows. Id play the SCM7... | |
| shy about prices @tomic601 tomic 601- arranging a simple global price structure is quite difficult as it the same exact problem you describe accurately above applies to any business in their home market. So a German company can sell for less in Germany while en... | |
| shy about prices @tomic601 I know one mysterious cost that is hidden for all but the distributor- the tremendous cost of freight from a country far away. THis can add a LOT to the cost of the product by the time you get it! MAny of these smaller hi fi companies... | |
| shy about prices @grislybutter Yes I get that. Frustrating for us both, as we cannot control the dealers or tell them what to do. We can only give them an opportunity-some take it and some dont. The internet business is a completely different thing to the local... | |
| shy about prices @grislybutter I actually couldn't agree more about how it looks from your side. Its something we have wrestled with and asked ourselves what the right thing is. I think we are going to work on adding prices to our lone mountain site as the need ... | |
| shy about prices I think there is a lot of misinformation in this thread and it's only just started! It's clear a lot of people feel factories are just trying to rip everyone off. My experience having worked for quite a few of them is that there are some peopl... | |
| Piano black polish and refinish I know the ATC piano black- which has 10 hand done coats of clear coat over black is pretty easy to maintain over time. It tends to show micro scratches, but are easy to buff out. Those 10 coats give you a pretty thick layer of laquer to work with... | |
| how many ways to hook up a subwoofer I sure don't want to argue with @ellajeanelle, as obviously is a nice person, but I am involved with pro and consumer both and I cannot figure out what you are talking about with "voicing" of speaker outs vs line level (-10 RCA) or pro level (+4 b... | |
| Piano black polish and refinish I can't think of a more difficult color to match than black. The good news is that in the hands of proper cabinet maker, gloss black with lots of coats of lacquer/polyurethane etc, is easier to repair than satin. BUT it also easier to screw up... | |
| ATC SCM40 @viethluu -glad you own ATC, but if you consider having a wide dynamic capability "sucking power" I guess you could say that? Most of them will play a good deal louder at lower distortion than other speakers of similar size (which is what makes t... | |
| I Was Considering Active, Then I Watched This ... There are many sceanrios where a listener could not tell there were changes to a system. Of course that does not mean there isnt a difference or it isnt a desireable difference. Much like swapping out phono cartridges, if you walked out of the r... |
