Audiophile Speakers for Rock, HipHop and Techno

You could try other active speakers than ATC, like Cabasse Pearl. The middle version is around $4.5k with something like 2000w amps. Kii Three are even better but costs 3 times as much. They don't need an amp, though. Dutch  & Dutch are also good.

For stand mounts I can recommend Canton or Totem.

+ Lost Count for ATC, especially the active ones.

Looks like the majority opinion.

BTW, I own SCM100ASLT for my main listening room, SCM20ASL Pro Mk II in my recording studio and am taking delivery on a rosewood pair of SCM50ASLT for a secondary listening room.

No one does dynamics like ATC active (ie. nothing rocks like ATC active).

Maybe these folks know something about good sound:

ATC Client List

Sir Paul & Rick Rubin

Perhaps these guys would want a very dynamic and accurate monitor in the studio.

Note: ATC active monitors in the background (scroll down to first image).

A number of decent reviewers also have ATC active in their homes. Neil Gader of The Absolute Sound comes to mind; ATC SCM50ASLT in his home music room.

@mrteeves 

Hip hop and techno are usually compressed and not super dynamic

I could not disagree more
