Any high WAF speaker with ATC sound?

Hi everyone!

I bought my very first place, and need an upgrade, but there is a lack of dealers in MD.

Before I get started, I love the SCM20 sound, and I actually dont mind the way it looks. But I know for a fact it would not be able to fill up a large space. Therefore looking for a larger speaker. I was thinking of the SCM100, but they do not mate well to my modern furniture.

Now, I don't have a wife (thank God, I am only 25), but the place will be my personal bachelor pad, and i want it to look modern and clean. The living room is about 18x27. Speakers will be on the short wall. Budge is under 6K, I can stretch it a bit, but rather not. The lower the price the better, and used of course! Inefficient speakers are welcome!

THANKS!

ATC SCM 100s! Great, great speaker. You can get them with just about any finish, so it will match your furniture. :)

One possibility is this: You could buy a pair of SCM-100s in plain-Jane prosound cabinets, and have a woodworker build replacement custom cabinets that look the way you want.

Exactly, after all that is actually what ATC do. They concentrate on the in house electronics and in house drivers but they outsource the cabinets to companies that specialize in wood working & cabinetry & veneer.

Example ATC EL 150SLA on the left ATC 100ASL and ATC SCM0.1-15 on the right (what a world of difference a custom cabinet can make)

just an FYI- Barefoot MM27s have little WAF. they are cool looking in the front---but the sides are all covered in professional grade plastic. they aren't great looking. they are quite good sounding.

That's what a lot of speaker companies do, actually.
