Lars -- have you checked out those Augspurgers???The compression drivers alone would set you back c. $6k!No kidding I have been drooling all day...I got to get me a bigger house ;-) 
How loud do you like to play your music?

ATC SCM 11 Vs SCM 19...Need immediate suggestion
But I was just worried because an SCM-40 is a substantial floorstander to look at my room normally works best with big bookshelves rather than floorstanders So what I meant is LESS of a problem than other floorstanders, however, you still need to...

Anybody know what ATC is using for cabinet materials? And the damping material internally? The SCM20 uses 18mm MDF damped with bitumen pads and double thick baffle and filled with acoustic wadding. Cabinets are made in Germany, I believe.The cabi...
