ATC SCM19 V2 Recommendations.
I recently purchased a pair of ATC SCM19 speakers and I just wanted to pick some brains.
I am not interested in advice on different speakers or very expensive options.
I am recently retired, on a fixed income and buy mostly used.
What I would like to get is some options for speaker cables, speaker stands, speaker placement and synergy with my current components.
My room is 12' x 18' x 9' and the speakers need to be placed on the 18' wall.
My current setup includes the following:
Musical Fidelity M6si integrated (220 w @ 8 ohms)
Tellurium Black speaker cables
Lumin D1 Streamer
Denafrips Ares II DAC
Distributed bass array with (2) Rel T5, (1) Rel T7i and (1) SVS SB2000 subs
@tony1954 What are those stands? Can you make them ring by tapping them lightly with a screwdriver or wrench? 6 foot triangle works but how far from the front wall (the wall behind the speakers) So glad to see you invest in the life's work of Billy Woodman. That driver was I think his first SL driver design, came after the midrange. The tweeter in that pair is a miniature version of the ATC mid design.. All hand built in the Cotswolds, not too far from the old Jaguar factory. |
No identifying marks on the stands. They are all metal, powder-coated design that the original owner filled with something. Each stand weighs around 20lbs. Tried to make them ring, but all I got was a metallic thud. Front of speaker is 42" from front wall. I was born a few hours north of the Cotswolds in Radcliffe, but emigrated to Canada when I was 3 years old.

I opted for just over shoulder toe in that gave me best sound stage.Directly was good but i felt that over shoulder gave me broader stage.Your stands look worthy enough.Big believer in sound anchors for atc's.If they are spiked make sure they are secured to floor!...all i know is the effort really made the difference with the 19v2's.They give back whats put into it.Like the power rating from amp! Brad (lm) knows these things...🎶 |
