Congratulations!
Did you have a chance to hear them before ordering? How long did you have to wait?

Review ATC SCM 40 A floorstanders.....finally
Welcome to a rather exclusive club. There is nothing quite like Active ATCs. Revealing, immediate and yet entirely natural sounding. You join the likes of Diana Krall to Mark Knopfler. Jack White to Coldplay to Sting to Enya to Pink Floyd. Countless musicians, studios and sound engineers. This user list is far from exhaustive as I know many musicians using them that aren’t on the list like New Order drummer Stephen Morris. http://atcloudspeakers.co.uk/client-list/ |
Mktmkt, I did not have the opportunity to listen first. I researched exhaustively before ordering and the wait was 4 months. I also allowed the dealer to keep them for another 2 as a courtesy to demo to others, so 6 months before taking them. The effortless generation of music is uncanny. I've owned Merlins, SA, Coincident, Manley Mahi Mahi mono blocks, Sugden A21SE and many other quality pieces. All pale in comparison. I wish I had made this one time buy a couple of years ago. Although, I did enjoy owning dozens of pieces throughout the years. Ciao |
@celtic66 All pale in comparison. My experience exactly. I have been using ATCs in various forms since 1994. I keep auditioning other speakers - most recently a top of the line Monitor Audio. Other SOTA speakers are indeed extremely good and I could happily live with a couple of the great Wilson models, top of the line Focals, KEF and Harbeth to name a few. Most other designs just don’t work for me and a few seconds of listening can confirm that all too quickly - the majority sound too much like hi-fi with over emphasis here and there and the sense you are listening to individual drivers rather than natural instruments or vocals. |
