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

@agisthos 

That's very reasonable.

Good luck with placement challenge, and that is some great gear…..would love to own those speakers. I do suspect at some point you’ll find the need to upgrade your DAC.

The Ares is a capable DAC, but not quite up to the rest of your gear.

Those are some great looking cables...i saw those some time back.I will add that that pro/driver likes some awg to get it grunting.I used a pair of diy mogami 3104 "8.5 awg" and some of the low notes that came out that speaker were impressive.fwiw.

So, after dealing with a very weird left channel issue, I finally sat down and listened to the ATC SCM-19's, and what can I say.

It's like I have been walking around for the last decade with a rock in my shoe and I finally took it out.

Sublime.
