Coming from 23 years with Thiel speakers it's very difficult to like Magico or Wilson audio.I do like ATC type of sound and big TAD.Also not a fan of MBL even if i have the budget.

Me too thielist, hard to shake the Thiel sound once you have lived with it so long.


The ATC 15 inch woofer produces some magic that is hard to change for anything else. I’ve tried and am trying :-) Then you have the transparent mids. Maybe the highs could be bettered but that's not so important for me. And the possibility to play at thundering levels...
@gosta which model ATC do you have ?I'm looking at model 50 and 100 depending on room size, the 150 is way too big for most people.I would drive them with Spectral monoblocks therefore i should pick the passive ones ?
